Old timers tell us that Isaac Witter’s son, Jere, once flew an airplane under the Grand Avenue Bridge.  Well, we don’t know if it happened or not, but there is an interesting story that you won’t want to miss in the latest issue of our publication ARTIFACTS.  This magazine comes as part of your membership.
This is the airplane that he supposedly flew under the bridge.

The end of our 2012 season that is.  This does not mean your chances to see the Shiloh Civil War exhibit will end ~ we are still available for tours or visits, please call to schedule your appointments.

We welcome any photos of local business men, stores, restaurants or other businesses from the Centralia, Grand Rapids, Wisconsin Rapids and surrounding areas. In addition, any memorabilia from these businesses would be greatly appreciated.

From June 21-24, join us in Wisconsin Rapids for a series of more than twenty events including live music, a parade, arts and crafts, cranberry blossom tours, and of course, culinary treats featuring Wisconsin’s tart and tangy fruit, the cranberry!
