A bit of background /more details concerning some of our events:
Centennial Homes
The museum is proud to bring you the 11th annual Centennial Homes Program. What started as a showcase of 100+-year-old homes in our community has branched out to include the history of communities and people within the area. Syracuse resident and native, Ann Vanderford Garceau brings an educational and insightful look into the homes, communities, and people that have been a part of the town of Syracuse before and since its establishment in 1837.
If you have a lake area home that is +100 years old and would like to participate, please contact the museum for more information. All participants receive a plaque as a thank you for participating. Free!
This program is funded by a grant from the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.
Youth History Camp
The program is designed around grades 1-6, but is open to all age groups, including adults. SIGN UP IS REQUIRED.
All classes FREE and will focus on the overall history, and history as it pertains to our area.
Classes meet in the Celebration Hall of the community center.
Contact Ali Schuldt at the museum to register and for more information on these topics.
