The Green Bay Packers Give Back
A $500.00 Grant
Tim Rasmussen, President of the Howard-Suamico Historical Society volunteered over 200 hours while working on the house, barn, and Tremble School at Ancestry Acres during the first six months of 2026. By doing so, the Green Bay Packers Give Back awarded the Howard Suamico Historical Society a grant for $500.00 in a way of supporting Tim and the time he gave to the Historical Society.
Thank you to the Green Bay Packers. Thank you Tim for all the hard work given by him and all the volunteers in working on the house, barn and Tremble School at Ancestry Acres.
Used Book Sale
2026 Book Sale
The August Used Book Sale was a Huge Success
The Howard-Suamico Historical Society held its semi-annual used book sale on Thursday August 6th and Friday August 7th. The sale was set up in the barn at Ancestry Acres, 12787 Velp Avenue. Our customers had a good selection with over 255 boxes of books to choose from. All of the books are collected throughout the year at Kimps Ace Hardware in Howard and at the Suamico Village Hall.
All proceeds from the sale will be used to support projects sponsored by the Society.
Thank you to all who came out and purchased books.
Thank you to the following individuals who helped set up the sale, man the tables, run the cash registers, set up the tent, and then take everything down and clean up the area when the sale was done: Sue Ambrosius, Ken Ambrosius, Tim Rasmussen, Abby Rasmussen, Karen Gillaume, Nathan Gillaume, Matthew Gillaume, Brian Gillaume, Chris Gillaume, Becky VanDeWalle, Millie Wiedemeier, Tom Mooren, Olivia Courtney, Barb Styczynski, Lenore Olejniczak, Kelly Zuhse, Ryker Magged, Lincoln Ambrosius, Michelle Bartoletti, Debbie and Russ Roland, Jan Deneys, Melissa Gillaume Cappaert, Andy Cappaert and Avery Chinen.
It was great to see all the help at the sale and we look forward to the sale in 2027. If you have any questions about the sale or to volunteer for next year, please contact Brian Gillaume 920-434-3723.
We are always collecting books for our annual used book sale. If you have any books, cd’s, album’s, 45’s, DVD’s, Blu-ray’s, puzzles or board games. They can be dropped off at the Village of Suamico offices, or Kimps Ace Hardware Howard.

HSHS Looking for Tremble Photos
Dates to Remember:
Please join us Thusday, August 13th, at 7pm, in the barn, at 12787 Velp Ave. and see what Harold has to say. He will also take questions.
Well, our general meeting speaker for August is Harold Peterson, a well known local realtor. I called Harold and asked what he planned to speak about and he said “anything and everything, let’s have some fun.” SO, that is what you should expect this coming Thursday, August 13th, when Harold takes over. (Our meeting is a week later than usual due to the Used Book Sale.) Our speakers are always free and open to the public. Bring a friend too. As always, there will be treats!!!
