The Pangman and Area Historical Society is clearing up the area that housed the Breckinridge Block and Tile business. Built in 1946, blocks and tiles were supplied to all surrounding districts until it closed in 1955 after Mr. Breckinridge passed away.
As a fundraiser for turning this area into a park, the Society will be selling the blocks at a price of $2 per plain block and $3 for a decorative blocks. If you would like to purchase some historic blocks, please contact any of the following: Brad Neiszner, Allison Kessler, Gene Kessler, Ed and Arlene Howse, Jacquie Mallory, Robin Larson and Gail Stanton. If you would like them delivered to you directly, they would be pleased to accept a donation for this service.
The Pangman Public Library branch of the Southern Regional Library will be postponing curbside pickup until further notice.
