Monroe: City’s old newspapers are saved
The Monroe Historical Society will use a $1,000 grant to preserve copies of the Monroe Monitor that date back to 1899.
Money from the Snohomish County Community Heritage Fund will pay for the project, as the society protects and archives more than century’s worth of the weekly newspaper.
The society also received two other grants. A tourism grant from the City of Monroe will help it develop museum exhibits. A Tulalip Charitable Fund grant will go toward preconstruction costs to renovate Old City Hall. The society still needs another $75,000 for that project.
