WESTONKA HISTORY MUSEUM <br /> Pam Myers, President of the Westonka Historical Society,thanked the City Council for allowing her to <br /> speak tonight about their community museum. Myers indicated she came to work in this community in <br /> 1981 and learned that Westonka is an interesting word geographically. It is an area with boundaries that <br /> are sort of vague, but the Navarre portion of the City of Orono is in the Historical Society's definition of <br /> Westonka. <br /> Myers encouraged the City Council to think about ways that the Westonka Historical Society can benefit <br /> them personally and is here to preserve the local history of the area. The City has a terrific website with a <br /> number of good pages on the history of Orono. The Westonka Historical Society started in 1966 and <br /> provides programs in the community creates a document, such as a book, a puzzle, or a game annually, <br /> which provides some retail income. The Westonka Historical Society has not had a store front until the <br /> last four or five years, and there is now an opportunity to have a permanent location in the Mound City <br /> Hall. <br /> Before 1950,the local high school was called the Mound Consolidated High School, which consolidated <br /> approximately two dozen school districts and provided opportunities for students from as far north as <br /> Medina, as far west as St. Bonifacius, as far south as Victoria,and as far east as Stubbs Bay. The school <br /> district sent school buses to pick up students in all directions. <br /> Page 1 of 10 <br />
