SEYMOUR HISTORY BULLETIN SPRING AND SUMMER 2025
May 2nd, 2025
The Contents of this Issue
The purpose of our newsletter is to keep our members informed of events taking place at the museum and to keep Seymour History alive through relating past social, cultural and economic activities. In addition to the annual meeting, this publication includes excerpts of an interview that Seymour Community Historical Society member Cathy Anschutz conducted with society member Vera Holzer who attended Seymour High School in the 1940s. Vera, a lifelong Seymour resident who recently turned 100, provides a picture of what life was like in Seymour during the 1930s and forties.
Readers will find pictures and a summary of the Kids' Christmas celebration where every visiting child picked out a present courtesy of a generous donation by the family of Bud VandenHeuvel. Since a fire at the Seymour Press office destroyed copies of the local paper prior to 1947, historians must research Green Bay and Appleton papers for Seymour news. Fortunately, the larger area papers included a "Seymour News" section every week or two and this issue of the Bulletin includes Seymour news from 1925. Readers will also find the Music in the Park schedule for 2025 and additional news about changes at the museum and model railroad display located in the former railroad depot.
The last several pages of this publication list our most recent contributors. Thank you for your gifts and donations necessary to keep our mission on track. The Seymour City Council recognizes the value of preserving our heritage and supporting an attractive museum through providing the museum utilities.
