MHACC @ 100: Exhibit Reception & Open House

This year marks the centennial anniversary of the founding of the Mount Horeb Area Chamber of Commerce. Showing now through June 6 in the Kalscheur Family Foundation Community Gallery, “MHACC @ 100: Celebrating a Century of Good Works!” commemorates this milestone. In 1923, a group of professionals and businessmen organized what was then known as the Mt. Horeb Advancement Association to, as they stated, “promote the general welfare of Mt. Horeb and the Community.” (“Community” in this case included not only Village residents, but the surrounding rural population as well.) One hundred years later, the Mount Horeb Area Chamber of Commerce continues to promote and support the greater Village, our heritage and businesses. This exhibit brings decades of organizational history to life with original artifacts, documents and a plethora of photographs. It is FREE to the public during the Driftless Historium's open hours of Friday through Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Join us on Monday, April 24 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., for an exhibit reception and open house. Mingle with Society Members and supporters, Chamber representatives and other Village neighbors—and have a slice of 100th birthday cake! At 6:00 p.m., local historian Brian Bigler will present a short program: “The Many Faces of Mount Horeb: MHACC Promotion and PR.” All are welcome; reservations not required.
