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.”
