REGIONAL CONFERENCE ANNOUNCED

 

New Holstein, WI: The Wisconsin Historical Society has announced that it's 2008 Northeast Region Convention will be held in New Holstein on Saturday, July 26. The Society notified the New Holstein Historical Society that it had been selected as the host organization for this meeting. One of the key factors in the selection was the fact that the New Holstein group has recently completed the $1.25 million dollar restoration of its Timm House Historic Site.

 

The convention will be held in the New Holstein Community Center, Kiwanis Park, 1725 Silver Moon Lane, beginning at 8am with registration and refreshments. The program agenda includes presentations by Trent Margrif, Director, Wisconsin Office, National Trust for Historic Preservation; by Rick Berstein, Southern Representative, Wisconsin Historical Society; Terry Thiessen, President, New Holstein Historical Society; and Andrea Wittwer, Vice-President, Wisconsin Council for Local History. The topics that will be covered during the day will include: collection management, working with the National Trust, and the nuts and bolts of a successful restoration.

 

In addition, those in attendance will be touring the Timm House Historic Site, the Pioneer Museum and taking a guided tour wagon ride, pulled by antique tractors, through New Holstein's historical residential and business areas. The Northeast Region comprises approximately 30 different local historical societies. The day will conclude at 4:00pm. Anyone interested in attending may request additional information from either the Wisconsin Historical Society or the New Holstein Historical Society at 920-948-7748 or tevents@dotnet.com.
