With the holiday season soon upon us, the Green County Historical Society Museum is once again discounting our Trilogy of picture books of Monroe in years past. These books each have over 100 pages of photos on quality shiny paper taken by old time photographers, some from turn of the century glass negatives. They are available already wrapped for the perfect Christmas gift for the history buff or anyone who has roots in the community. The books are sold for $20 on our website, by Googling Green County Historical Society, at the museum on Monday mornings, call Linda Lostetter at 608-558-0175 or by calling the museum at 608-324-4676 and leaving a message. They can be picked up, mailed, or delivered locally. These other wonderful local historical books are for sale also.
Our annual Christmas fundraising décor sale will again be held on November 20-22 and 28-29 from 10-3, next to the museum in the old martinizing drycleaning building. For sale are a variety of gently used Christmas decorations and gifts. Photo books and others will be available for purchase during the sale.
The museum is always working to update displays from the 1960s to the present. We are looking for a Monroe High School dress blue band uniform. portable record player, pop-bead jewelry and other teenage remembrances. Contact the museum or Lostetter.
