Edwardsburg Area Historic Museum selected Marjorie Federowski as its recipient of the Dr. John B. Sweetland Award for 2012.

Each year, a community member is honored with this award.  The award presentation will take place at the museum at 3:30 p.m. Sunday with a reception following.

The public is invited.

Sweetland was one of the founding fathers of the community and had significant influence on the development of Edwardsburg. He was a man of impeccable integrity, principles, kindness, generosity, a respect for individual views and a desire to serve. In keeping with these attributes a member of the community who follows that path is selected.

According to the museum, Marjorie Federowski, “while currently not a member of the community, has contributed to the growth of the community in her own way and is deserving of this award.”
