Country Weekly: Heart of the Community

  • North Berrien Historical Museum 300 Coloma Avenue Coloma, MI, 49038 United States (map)

The Coloma Courier was published weekly from 1885–1969, at which point it was absorbed by the Watervliet Record (now the Tri-City Record). Joe and Marjorie Wells of Coloma are recognized in the community for their run as owners of the Courier, publishing the periodical from 1946–1959.

Charles Chauncey Wells, the son of Joe and Marjorie, will appear at the North Berrien Historical Museum to present “Country Weekly: Heart of the Community.” Charles will discuss his experiences growing up at the Coloma Courier and how it led to a lifelong passion for letterpress printing and other forms of the medium.

No RSVP is required for this free program.
