Clear Lake Public Library receives the "Save Our History Grant"
On July 26, 2007, the History Channel awarded the Clear Lake Public Library a $3,500 Save Our History grant to partner with Clear Lake Junior High for “Between Fences: Structural Change in Clear Lake”. Students will choose a local home, business, land tract, or other local landmark and create a photo/narrative display that will depict how these have changed since the creation of the community of Clear Lake. The photos will be on display in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution Exhibition “Between Fences” coordinated by the Wisconsin Humanities Council that will be at the Clear Lake Area Community Center April 12 – May 24, 2008. The Clear Lake Public Library is one of 27 history organizations nationwide that received Save Our History community preservation grants. These grants fund innovative preservation projects designed to bring communities together, actively engage children in the preservation of their local history and communicate the importance of saving local history for future generations.
