News from the Board of the Burnett County Historical Society
The Board has been meeting every two weeks to try and stay on top of the Covid-19 situation. We've had a late opening; no school groups, and projects and rendezvous to get ready for. The Monday Boys (who typically work Mondays from 9-noon) have started to reform. They are currently doing great work on replacing the stockade wall and adding gates along the parking lot. There is much to do besides general maintenance, such as the Indian village and the docks. Please consider helping. If interested, contact The Forts.
