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 2025. 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.

The Howard-Suamico Historical Society held its semi-annual used book sale on Thursday August 7th and Friday August 8th. The sale was set up in the barn and under the big tent at Ancestry Acres, 12787 Velp Avenue. Our customers had a good selection with over 300 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.
