UPCOMING MUSEUM ACTIVITIES
Antique Quilt Block Billboards for SaleU - A new project this year is Quilt Block painting on wood, for outdoor decoration. Hang them on your barn, garage, porch or shed!
Quilt patterns tell a story. For example, the Saw-Tooth design, shown at left, reflected the importance of the saw for the early settlers and farmers that cleared the land in the Remus area and built their own homes.
There are six block designs used by area ancestors from which to choose. Each one is made of heavy materials with multiple coats of paint to endure Michigan weather and the edges are trimmed. You can choose your own colors. They are available in a large size 4’ x 4’ for $150 or small size 2’x 2’ for $75. There is a $10 discount for paid Remus Area Historical Society members. For more information, contact Sherry Marks at (231) 250-2441, email HUtsmarks2441@hughes.netUH, or Mary Simon (989) 561-2768, or send an email to HUmuseum@winntel.netUH.
NEW PROJECT FOR 2011: THE OLD SCHOOL PHOTOS –
In cooperation with the Wheatland Township Library, the old composite graduating class photos from Remus High School and Mecosta-Remus High School will soon be scanned, mounted and featured at the Remus Museum. The photos will enhance the Old Schools display created and installed in 2009 at the Museum. Because Wheatland Township Library wished to retain the originals, Ed Walch has been seeking estimates to complete the project. There are approximately 43 photos of multiple sizes ranging from years 1925 through 1967. The estimated dollars needed to complete the project is approximately $3,500. A gift from your Class Reunion could help move this project along !

"Our Past, Your Future"

Remus Area Museum, 324 S. Sheridan, Remus 

 

You are invited to come celebrate the Grand Opening of Three New Displays – Early Communications, Rural Schools, and, Remus Cooperative Creamery -  at the Remus Museum.  Perhaps you shared a story, loaned or donated an item of historical note, or, helped to fund the project.  Your participation made a difference!  Bring your children and grandchildren and show them how the community has developed over the last century. 

 

early communications

From the early use of bells to announce an emergency, call children to school or farmhands in for supper, early postal delivery, the telegraph to telephones, the progress in communications has helped the area to flourish.  The display will also feature a working switchboard, a horse drawn mail hack and interactive areas for children.   (PHOTOS: At left, Wanda [Haney] Esch as a “Hello” girl and Remus mail carriers.) 

 

 

Rural schools   

From one-room schoolhouses to consolidation, this display of photos, commencement memorabilia, school desks, books, teacher contracts and more show the massive changes that have taken place over the last century.  (PHOTO: At left, a Remus school bus.)

  

Remus Cooperative creamery

 “A group of farmers banded together in 1905 to sell their cream.  In 1917, they formed the Remus Co-operative Creamery Co. and bought co-op shares. It became the centerpiece of the community.”   Remus Butter soon became a household name.  Come see artifacts from the original Creamery, photos, documents and more. 

  

This project was made possible with funding from the Blanchard Telephone Company, an OPASTCO member and FRED grant awardee, Mecosta County Community Foundation, Remus Heritage Days, a gift card from Meijer’s, a discount from Remus Lumber, and, financial support from memberships. 

 

The purpose of the Remus Area Historical Society, Inc., an educational and charitable organization, is to celebrate the heritage, and preserve the cultural and historical resources, of the Townships of Wheatland, Broomfield, Rolland, Millbrook, Colfax, Morton, Martiny, Austin, Hinton, Sheridan, and surrounding area.  For more information, go to the Remus website at www.remus.org. and click on Remus Area Historical Society, or call Linda Howard (989) 967-3468, Char Lenon  (989) 967-8153, or Sherry Marks (231) 250-2441 or send an email to museum@winntel.net.
