We had such a nice evening at the Republic Community Foundation banquet, and we came home with some wonderful news to share!!

Our own Brenda Gardner was recognized as the Republic Historical Society’s Volunteer of the Year. Each participating organization honored one of its volunteers, and we were proud to have Brenda represent us

We also received $500, which will go toward our Welcome to Historic Main Street sign! It was such a special night for Brenda and for the Historical Society.

Congratulations, Brenda. We are so proud of you and so thankful for everything you do!

If you needed tires in Republic around 1917, the Republic Garage was one place you could stop! Looking at all those folks gathered around, you have to wonder what kind of stories were being told inside that building back then.

Do you have any stories or memories to share about the Republic Garage? We’d love to hear them!

We are almost finished refreshing our cozy museum! Though truth be told, changing up our displays is a non-stop process around here (we just love moving things around!). We want to give a special shoutout to Davis Woodcraft for the beautiful blanket ladders. We have so many incredible quilts to show you, and these ladders are absolutely perfect for the job.

A crisp perfect afternoon, a historic stroll, timeless tales. Thank you to the Republic Historical Society members for creating a special community event that is sure to be repeated again next fall.
Thank you to the Evergreen Cemetery board that maintains this beautiful historic place in the heart of Republic.

Our Museum refresh has hit a bit of a snag from a leak from upstairs. It has damped the floor, but not our enthusiasm to make our current space, a little lighter and brighter. We are working hard to get the Museum back open soon. In the meantime, save the date for Saturday, October 17, 5 to 7 PM for the Evergreen history walking tour. Evergreen cemetery on Hines Street. It will be educational,peaceful and a beautiful time under the maple trees.
