Historical Society Presents “Whitewater Recollects: Grocery Stores,” Sun., 11/17

Did you know that Whitewater once had multiple grocery stores? Did you know that Whitewater
residents used to do their grocery shopping downtown? The Whitewater Historical Society is
hosting a panel-led discussion about Whitewater’s grocery stores back in the “good old days.”
Attendees will hear reminiscences from a panel of long-time Whitewater residents, but everyone
will be able to share their stories and memories of Whitewater grocery stores from the 1930s to
the ‘70s. And those of us whose memories aren’t so long will have a chance to learn about the
days when Whitewater wasn’t a one-grocery town.


The program will be held on Sunday, November 17, 2019 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm at the Cravath
Lakefront Community Center at 341 S. Fremont Street, Whitewater, WI. Come reminisce with us – or learn what you missed! Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.


For more information, contact Linda Robinson (262) 473-3298, or email us at
