The Charles Follo Award, named in honor of school teacher Charles Follo and
his work forming historical societies in the Upper Peninsula, recognizes
individuals who contribute to the historic preservation of their
communities. Examples of this may include helping successfully preserve a
historic site, volunteering at a historical society or museum for a long
period of time, or extensively researching a community's history. The
Superior Award, established in 2006, honors historical societies, museums,
and other historical organizations for advancing the understanding and
appreciation of history in their communities.

 

Individuals and organizations are able to self-nominate, but we also
encourage community members to nominate candidates they believe are
deserving of either award. We accept re-nominations as well.
