    Description

    Volunteers are key at the Caledonia Historical Village. The Caledonia Historical Society (CHS) owns and operates the Village, which is located just east of Hwy 38 on Five Mile Road, as a 501(c) 3 non-profit.

    Volunteers also groom the grounds and maintain the buildings once they are restored.

    Linwood Park is located just east of the Caledonia Historical Village on the west bank of the Root River. The land was originally used by Caledonia as the town dump. Linwood Park was opened in 1965 and was the first park fully owned and operated by the Town of Caledonia.

    The 1877 Caledonia town hall is now located in the Caledonia Historical Village where it was moved in 2003 and renovated by CHS volunteers. It is situated near other volunteer projects: a restored 1927 caboose, the circa 1840 Ruud log cabin, the newly constructed Myers Museum and the 1902 Milwaukee Road train depot, formerly located in Sturtevant.

    All CHS projects are volunteer inspired and driven to completion. CHS is a legacy RSVP-Racine partner, tracing its association to 2008. Last year nearly 30 AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP volunteers collectively contributed over 2000 hours to CHS projects.
