2009 MCHS Annual Meeting
Every year MCHS members come together to discuss the state of the Martin County Historical Society, its finances, board members, events, etc. while having a dinner and enjoying a speaker or presentation. This year’s meal was catered by Vetter’s Catering. The entertainment was two power-point presentations on Fairmont Ford and Harsco, Inc./Railway Motors created by MCHS Executive Director Lenny Tvedten. Thanks to all who attended!

Represented were Major Arthur Nelson, Capt. Jeremiah Rusk of Fort Fairmount, Newspaperman Frank A. Day, Industry Mogul Frank Wade, Business Owner Bob Wallace, and Elevator Owner Henry Rippe. Thanks to all the volunteers and schools that made this event possible!
