Bringing history to life: GC Chamber-Main Street celebrates National Historic Preservation Month

In honor of National Historic Preservation Month in May, Grundy Center Chamber-Main Street has a number of exciting new projects and events to unveil - including a first-of-its-kind historic home tour through town, and a brand new website dedicated to Grundy Center’s history.
 
“[National Historic Preservation Month], is a great opportunity to showcase our history for everyone,” said Lisa Bienfang, Grundy Center Chamber-Main Street Director. “Historical preservation is a huge part of our mission here, and our hope is that we can connect people through history. History gives people a sense of identity, and it gives the town character.
 
One of the big projects that GC Chamber-Main Street unveiled this month is a section about the history of Grundy Center on the organization’s new website, which can be visited at www.grundycentercms.org/about-grundy-center.
 
The page features an extensive timeline infographic that details the interesting facts and history of the town from its incorporation in 1877, until the town’s centennial celebration in 1977.
