The final regular monthly meeting

trustees reelected Virginia Paulson (president), Robert Dobson (vice president),
Donna Bjork (secretary) and Theresa Rinehart (treasurer) as officers for 2010.
Two Historical Pins Still Available
The Historical Society is still offering pins for sale as a fundraiser. Plans are in the works to have a new pin available each year depicting different mines in the area. Last year's pin, shown at right, is about one inch diameter in size, and will feature the Jackson Mine. This year's pin depicts "double-jacking," a method used to extract the ore. Pins are $3 a piece.
Historic Books and Maps Make Great Anytime Presents!Two books are available to the public as a fundraiser for the Negaunee Historical Society and as a service to the community. An all-volunteer committee has put together these projects, with production donated by Plan B Publishing of Negaunee.

The historical book offers a 90-page report of the development of the Negaunee area with regards to mining. It also includes a mining timeline, list of mines and a historical timeline, all with old photos.
