BAKE SALES
Thank you to all who supported our bakes sales this year. We had a stellar year. Special thanks to the Coggon American Legion for allowing us to have our bake sales during their pancake breakfasts.
See you again in October (or maybe here and there with a random sale of goodies).
COGGON COFFEE

7:00am-10:00am
Historical Hall
123 East Main St, Coggon
Coggon Coffee has been in 'business' nearly three years now! We appreciate all who are enjoying gathering for a visit, a treat, and some coffee!
We could still use people to help host. Once a month or once in a while would be helpful. Choose a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday from 6:30am-10:00am. Ask a friend to help and share the duties.
Thanks so much to those who already volunteer.
Searchable archive is now available! Archive includes Coggon Monitor Newspapers from 1890s - 1970s.
Slides of 1957 and 1982 Harvest Home and town events

We continue to need your support and donations.
Currently our need is storm windows for the four upper original windows at Historical Hall. We have applied for a grant, but will still need additional funds to complete this project.
Your donations to our Coffee Shop, Bake Sales, Suppers, and Holiday Desserts support our efforts to maintain the Clemons House and Historical Hall for many generations to come.
THANK YOU!
