Community Spotlight

• Started in October of 2009. We wanted to start to preserve the Architectural History of the original Toboyne Township(now consist of Toboyne, Jackson, Southwest Madison and Northeast Madison.
  Asking people to bring their photos and deeds to meetings so we could make copies and start gathering the collection. The people came out of the wood work to share their history, stories, and photos.
  Along with photos of houses, stores, and barns we try to put a bit of family history with each location. This is where the stories help make the history personal.

• Over the past 16 years we have done road trips going to areas to see and walk where past families have worked, gone to church, to school and to gather, like Henry’s Valley, Horse Valley and walking tours in Blain and New Germantown.
  At our meetings many local people have come to talk about their families, the artisans of the area demonstrate their trade, special events, and the many talented authors we have.

• Their is so much history in the western end of Perry County that should be shared and documented. Come out and join us.
