Dauphin Chamber minutes, old promotional shirts, and cups, and pictures were unboxed this week, and some go as far back as 1912.
Stephen Chychota is looking forward to going through the many boxes that were stored at the back of the city’s shop.
“What was in there was some financial records that were being kept but are no longer really needed. But what were really cool to find were some really old meeting minutes from like 1912 to 1925 there’s a book on minutes in there. There’s some old contents from past street fairs that the Chamber has done in the early 2000s. Just some really old interesting stuff from the Chamber and the City of Dauphin.”
He’s also found some documents that mention the Town of Dauphin.
Chychota says there are still some decade-long gaps missing that he hopes will turn up eventually. He says it’s going to be a fun mystery or treasure hunt to see what they uncover as they go through the boxes.
After he goes through the boxes he’s going to see what the chamber should save and what, if any could go to local museums.
