Herald the arrival of the holiday season at the Polk County History Center with the 14th Annual Festival of Wreaths and Silent Auction. Wreaths will be on display from Nov. 8 until Dec. 12, when winning bidders begin picking up wreaths to decorate their homes. The Silent Auction opens 8 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 8.
Since 1975, the PCHA has supported the collection of oral histories of Polk County residents. Member organizations of the PCHA Heritage Partner Committee seek potential candidates who are 75 years or older and have lived in Polk County for 50 years or more. These Polk Pioneers participate in an interview to document their lives and contributions to our rich history. Congratulations to our Polk Pioneers for 2024. View their interviews here.
