Board Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 9:30 and are open to the public. Call ahead for the location as we may not be at Heritage Hall during Covid restrictions. Agendas, Minutes, and Financial Reports may be requested by calling a Board Meeting for review at the Hall.
We are taking orders for our 2020 Christmas card featuring the street scene during Christmas on Main. A memory for sure this year! Cards are priced at a package of 5 for $5.00. They will be available at the Hall on November 12th. There is no message on the front making this original artwork perfect for framing.
Cards from previous years are also available if you are interested in a collection of 1 of each or if you would just like a prior year's card. Let us know!
Genealogy Station
Blame it all on my ROOTS!
Tracing your genealogy is a rewarding and addictive adventure. We can help by offering members free use of Ancestry.com and other search sites at our genealogy station. Members who have completed their research have donated copies for your use. You may be related!
Photo Collections
If it happened in our community, it was probably printed in the Slater Paper or Tri-County Times. We have them all for you to research. You also have access to our hundreds of photos of school kids, weddings, town buildings, and even the first automobile delivered by horse and wagon.
See what you will find inside....

Baseball and Basketball
The name "Slater" is synonymous with baseball and basketball. Our trophy cases are filled with the legacy of these sports along with scorebooks, photos, and memorabilia. Who hit the first home run under the lights? King Schaudt will even be there to greet you!
Events and Exhibits
Cemetery walks, Civil War history, harvest heritage events with the street lined with tractors, displays of wedding dresses and aprons, exhibits of school days and the joys of growing up in a small town have all been offered free to the community. These along with permanent displays make Heritage Hall a treasure in the community.
