           RECOGNIZING THE ERWIN TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 12, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the Erwin 
Township Historical Society and their newly constructed walking trail 
and artifact building in Erwin Heritage Park. Erwin Township Historical 
Society has played an instrumental role in the preservation of Erwin's 
culture and history, and I'm confident their newest offerings will 
continue to have a lasting impact on residents for years to come.
  Named as the first grant recipient from the Michigan History 
Alliance, the Erwin Township Historical Society has been deservingly 
recognized for their part in protecting and cataloguing Michigan's rich 
history. From erecting park benches to the restoration of the East End 
Schoolhouse to become their museum, the Erwin Township Historical 
Society has expanded their reach in the community and has become a 
familiar and trustworthy service for all residents to utilize. We are 
blessed to have organizations of this caliber in Northern Michigan and 
the Upper Peninsula, and I am appreciative of their work and service.
  On July 1, 2023, the Erwin Township Historical Society will celebrate 
the completion and dedication of their new walking trail and artifact 
building in Erwin Heritage Park. I want to thank all involved in the 
Erwin Township Historical Society for making these endeavors possible 
and for facilitating a successful ceremony.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the Erwin Township 
Historical Society for their work to preserve the history and culture 
of their community. On behalf of Michigan's First District, I wish the 
historical society and their supporters the best in their future 
endeavors.
