Sheridan Historical Society
In cooperation with the Town of Sheridan, the Sheridan Historical Society is trying to put together a project to honor Sheridan community veterans by placing banners bearing their pictures, branch and years of service on the lamp posts along South Main Street.
Local communities, including Tipton and Cicero, have already done projects of this nature to honor their veterans.
If you or someone you know has served in the military and you would like them to be honored with a banner, please come by the Museum, 315 S. Main St., in beautiful uptown Sheridan and give us your information. If you have a picture of the veteran from the time of their service, we would like to make a copy of that, too.
Museum hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Friday each week, and the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. We have 22 lamp posts along Main Street and we would like to have the banners up by late spring or early summer of this year, so come by the Museum and let us know if you would like to be a part of the exciting addition to Sheridan’s Main Street.
