Historical Society 2019 Summer Happenings
ATHS participated in the 2019 Anderson Township Fourth of July Parade. Thanks to the assistance of the David Vogel Landscape Company and the Urban Farm group, we were able to display our large farm wagon in the float and have additional participants walking the route and passing out canny, freezer pops, and dog biscuits. In all, we have nearly 50 people in the parade! The effort paid off when ATHS received the award for best float.
ATHS continues to provide educational opportunities to Anderson Township. For the 7th year, we provided local history presentations to over 650 local 2nd and 3rd grade students at the Anderson Center with 7 full day field trips for the various district schools. In addition, we hosted about 100 Mercer Elementary, 3rd grade students at the Miller-Leuser Log House. The visit by the 3rd graders started many years ago and is a welcome addition to our activities. Very often, Sunday visitors to the Log House mention their children’s experiences as being the driving force for their visit to the grounds.
