Glenwood City Historical Society
Where the past meets the present for the benefit of the future.
- Our Mission
To preserve and maintain the history of the Glenwood City area so that future generations can appreciate the hard work and dedication of those who turned a logging camp into the town they know today.
Our mission is on the move! We have achieved great things in 2012 thanks to the generous support of our donors and volunteers!
We now have our museum open and ready to display, you can find out more by clicking the Museum link.
We have also included some images from our museum for you to look at on the Photo Gallery page.
We are hosting guest speakers to continue to build on the rich history of Glenwood City and surrounding areas. Check out our Events calendar to see previous speakers and what events are soon to come!
