About this event

The Hales Corners Historical Society is presenting a very exciting program on Wednesday, May 22nd, at 7 p.m. in the library’s W. Ben Hunt Room!

Here are the details:

-It's the kickoff event of the 100th Anniversary of the W. Ben Hunt Cabin. The Historical Society will be unveiling a plaque honoring the Cabin as a nationally recognized historic landmark.
-At the event, you will have the opportunity to view the Hunt Cabin 100th commemorative window display that they installed in the library upstairs. The display is their first promotion for the W. BEN HUNT CABIN HERITAGE DAY, a 100th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, August 24th. (Mark your calendars; more details will be provided at the meeting.)
-Also on May 22nd, the Historical Society invites you to help celebrate HCHS’s 50th Anniversary. Last week, they received a plaque from the Milwaukee County Historical Society congratulating them on their first half-century of preserving the history and heritage of Hales Corners. You’ll be able to see the plaque in their new HCHS OFFICE and visit the newly created BEN HUNT MUSEUM ROOM.
-Plus...there will be an anniversary cake and coffee!
