We are APPRECIATIVE of our 2013 PROJECT Financial Contributors!

    In addition to shopping locally, we urge you to support the following sources:

You can HEAR us now! We have a "sound system" thanks to  Latah County Community Foundation grant funding.  The portable amplifying system will be useful  on business district and home  historical tours,  at our meetings and other educational group gathering sessions.

K-J and area Newspaper Collecting and Microfilming:  Because newsprint deteriorates rapidly JKHF is collecting ALL our service area's newspaper publications to then microfilm.  We have a good start on the 108 years of Kendrick Gazette publications however are searching for many "gap" editions.  Kendrick also had a 1904 "The Canyon Echo" publication.  Juliaetta had several newspapers: The Gem, The Potlatch, The Juliaetta Advance, Thee  Potlatch Press, The Register, The Potlatch Herald, The Juliaetta Enterprise, the Independent, The Juliaetta Record, and the There Juliaetta Sun.  Cameron had The Potlatch Herald and Wyckliff Smith published the Potlatch Herald for Southwick also.  Kendrick Hardware is the collection spot for us to retrieve your newspapers.  Upon acquiring grant funding a microfilm reader will be purchased for public usage so these gems, containing invaluable pieces of our history, will be forever available.

2013 "HOME" Preparations Overview: JKHF looks forward to our new home being located on the second floor (2,580 sq. ft.) of the 110 year old 8,200 sq. ft. Kendrick Fraternal Temple building. Because of rejuvenations and energy efficiency updates, to be completed in late 2013, JKHF's space allocation will allow for meetings, educational sessions, historical research, archival storage, and will provide Kendrick with its only historical museum.  Archival storage, preservation and research currently are provided.  A JKHF computer and a microfiche reader are useful assets already in place.

The unique and much admired external brick work displayed on this building is also in need of attention.  Some of the bricks used in 1903 came from Kendrick's Fruchtl Brick Company!  Kelly Emo from Emo's Masonry, Gutters & Roofing, located in Deary, is the contractor for this multi-phase brick project.

 2012-13 Historical Tour Project Overview: JKHF accepted the comprehensive care of the 16-year-old Juliaetta and Kendrick Walking Tour.  Our first priority has been accomplished with the 30 K-J business district signs installed and 35 historic home signs purchased.  A spring 2013 installation is planned for the J-K historic home designations.  Both communities individually will have a tour booklet and DVD published.  Kendrick publications will go to press in January 2013 with Juliaetta's planned for mid-summer.  Walking Tour items will be available at Kendrick Hardware and other business supporting partners with the project being completed prior to September 2013.

•  Local PHOTO Viewing BUSINESS LOCATIONS: Our digital photo units display local historical pictures at:
