County Fair Legacy Project
The Pillager History Center is a building on the county fairgrounds. A history display started to grow there in early 2016, made of paper copies and memorabilia gathered from the community. At the beginning of this history collection, this building was not critter or weather proof. In previous grant cycles the building has had a critter-proofing project, and additional work has been done to further that work. Now, we are requesting funds to allow those 9-year-old paper photos and memorabilia items to be housed in better conditions. Over the past 9 years those paper photos have become curled, faded, and weathered. In the next step of this project, those paper copies will be re-printed and mounted on photo boards and covered with laminate to protect them.
The History Building will be open to the public all days of the fair. We are also looking at opening the building other times of the year for school class workshops
and other holidays and events.
