Creating a Home for Winters History
Historical Society of Winters members Woody Fridae and Gloria Lopez hold an historic “wayfinder” sign from many decades ago. The Historical Society is gearing up for the big meeting, planned for April 10 at 6:30 p.m. at The Palms, to pitch the idea of starting a museum in Winters. They will have many opportunities for Winters residents to help out: volunteering as a docent, donating artifacts, building displays, organizing fundraising events and activities, and serving on the steering committee. All are invited to come, share ideas, hear about Winters’ history and work on strategies to make a museum a success in Winters.
