Caledonia Historical Society Posted on by

The old paint is being scraped off of the last section of the 1902 Depot that needs to be painted.

The 1927 caboose will soon have a new paint job and the Heritage Garden has many new plantings.

CHS continues to need your support to get that barn “raised” and restored.  Here are items CHS has for sale.  If you are interested, please contact us via the Comments page on this website.  The mugs are $8 each or 2 for $14.  The small Depot print is $2 and the large Depot print is $5.  The note cards are $5 each.  The book, Milwaukee Then and Now, is $25.  Purchase a personalized paver to be placed at the Old Town Hall.  Contact CHS through the Comments page for an application.
