Hidden History of Doty Island – S.A. Cook and the Armory (Online)

  • Neenah, WI, 54956 United States (map)

Many of us still remember the old Neenah/Menasha Armory that was located on the corner of N. Commercial St. and Nicolet Blvd, but what’s the story behind it? Join the Neenah Historical Society and Menasha Historical Society for another installment of “hidden history” when we look at the history behind the Armory. This interesting presentation by Tom Van Lieshout will cover the story of S.A. Cook: Civil War veteran, Neenah mayor, and U.S. Representative to Congress, and the Armory that was named for him. He will also cover the Armory Shops and demolition of the building.

This program will be streamed from our YouTube account on March 18 at 7:00 p.m. After the premiere, it will be available at any time from this link:
