MRHC annual meeting Wednesday

MARQUETTE — The Marquette Regional History Center invites the public to its annual meeting from 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday.

The Marquette Regional History Center began an awards program in 1984. The Helen Longyear Paul Award is given to recognize individuals and the Peter White Award honors foundations, companies, organizations and institutions. Both recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation or interpretation of the history of our area.

Awards will be presented at the annual meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the history center. The meeting is free, open to the public and will offer refreshments, a brief business meeting, and the awards ceremony.

The Marquette County Historical Society, renamed the Marquette Regional History Center, celebrated 100 years of collecting and preserving local history last year. The MRHC 2019 program brochure is available now.
