Historic Elk Rapids Township Hall to Receive Award

Community members and guests are invited to the Historic Elk Rapids Township Hall (HERTH) on Friday, September 29, at 11:00 am, when the Job Winslow Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) presents the Historic Preservation Recognition Award to the HERTH board of trustees. HERTH is on both the National Register of Historic Sites and the Michigan Register of Historic Sites. The volunteer group Historic Elk Rapids Township Hall Association (HERTHA) has worked for more than 15 years to operate and renovate the hall. Projects have included new window treatments, a digital replica of the historic stage curtain, brick and mortar and tin ceiling repairs, theater lighting, new tables and chairs and more. Three large arched windows were recently replaced this summer. HERTH is a community asset and iconic structure in downtown Elk Rapids. All are welcome to attend the award presentation and to celebrate the beauty, history, and significance of this building at 401 River Street, Elk Rapids.
