Just a reminder that some of us in the country don't have an alternative to
dial-up and files much bigger than 250kb can really clog things up or shut
us down completely. Please keep the file size small - if what you want to
send is big, make it available "on request", or post a link. Thanks. - Jim

Subject: Passport to History
To create awareness of the historical museums and sites located within
Waupaca
County, a “Passport to History” program has recently been launched. The
local
historical societies of Clintonville, Iola, Marion, New London, Scandinavia,
and
Waupaca are involved in funding and promoting the program. In addition, the
Fremont and Rural organizations are assisting with promotion.
A 20 page “passport” has been printed which contains information on each
participating historical society and what it has to offer visitors. It
encourages not only tourists, but also those living in Waupaca County, to
visit
these sites and learn more about our area heritage.
Upon visiting each of the historical sites, the passport holders will have
their
document stamped with a “visa” indicating they have been there. As an
incentive
for persons to visit all the sites, there will be a drawing at the end of
the
season for a $100 U.S. Savings Bond, plus two 1-year memberships to the
Wisconsin Historical Society.
“Passports” are available at each of the historical sites in Waupaca County,
and
also at selected antique shops, restaurants, and tourist information
centers.
For more information on this program contact Doug Watson, (715) 467-2729.
