New Book - County Normal School, Standish

The ACHS is gathering pictures and other information about the County Normal School that was in Standish from 1905 - 1957. This will all be put in our next book that we are now working on. If anyone has any of the graduating class pictures, or other information, please contact us. Thanks.


"Million Pennies Drive" - Update

penny1.gif (1242 bytes)penny2.gif (921 bytes)Our goal is to collect one million pennies.
That will give us $10,000 to pay on the mortgage for our building.
As of January 1st, we have $8,700.00 in our "Million Penny Account".  This means we now need only 130,000 more pennies.  We still have some canisters around the county, and you can also give your pennies to any ACHS member. And a big Thanks to all who have helped us get this far with our Million penny project.


Standish Depot Brick Walkway

Have your name or a memorial name engraved on a brick for the walkway to the bandstand.

There is still time to purchase your brick for the walkway at the Depot.    The walkway will lead to the bandstand which is being constructed on the north end of the grounds in front of the railcar display.  Bricks can be ordered directly from the Arenac Heritage Route Authority, contact the AHRA at:
