We are in the midst of the Home-Coming Festival in Whitewater. This is the 100th anniversary of the 1907 Home-Coming that was spearheaded by Whitewater Normal School President Albert Salisbury. The event in 1907 brought several thousand people back to Whitewater, and this year’s event is reflecting on that event and the past 100 years.
On Sunday, we hosted a Home-Coming Festival Dinner in the Van Steenderen Atrium of the Greenhill Center for the Arts. Over 80 people were in attendance.
Today at 4:30, we will have a brief ceremony to rededicate the Halverson Log Cabin on the campus. The log cabin was built in Richmond Township in 1844 and moved to campus in 1907. It was officially opened in December of 1907. Just as President Salisbury brought the log cabin to campus to connect us with our past, we will reaffirm our connection with our history through this rededication.
