The Cresco Station Museum: The society has regular programs at the Cresco Station Museum. From Memorial Day to Columbus Day, there is a monthly performance by local musicians and an Ice Cream Social. The museum is also the site of an Art's and Craft's Exhibit on the second Sunday of each month. Local Artists and Crafters display and sell their work. Exhibits change periodically.

Regular Meeting and Programs:
The Society has a monthly meeting which is held the third Friday of each month at 7:00 pm at the Friendly Community Center. From November to March the meetings will be held at 2:00 PM. Following a short business meeting, a scheduled speaker covers some aspect of local history. The June meeting is a field trip to a place of historical importance, the location is usually within one hour drive.

Watch for our flyers around town and The Village View for more information on our upcoming programs.
