Donation well received

16 years ago

    Members of the Lister/Knowlton VFW Ladies Auxiliary were invited to be guests of honor at the Caribou Historical Society on Nov. 14.  The group recently donated $1,000 to the society’s on-going efforts to raise funds to build a pole-barn at the location in order to house the larger donated items the museum has on display.
