The Story Begins.

NOTE:  We at the Plancovania Chamber of Commerce would like to extend our gratitude to the tireless efforts of resident historian Mabel Mabel Knott from the Plancovania Historical Society.  [Yes, her first and middle names are the same and when pressed she would rather not talk about it.]  She has stepped up to the task of scanning all documents pertaining to the property known as Rose Lake Park to ensure this valuable history can be perserved for future generations.  Mabel also serves as caretaker for the archive, librarian, custodian, and handles all lawn and facility maintenance.  She works on a volunteer basis, and is the only employee.  In her spare time Mabel has been studying graphical art and website design, much to our benefit!

Plancovania Historical Society hours of operation are 9am - 9pm, Monday through Saturday.  Sunday access available upon appointment.

We would also like to wish Mabel a belated Happy 86th Birthday!  Click Here for the GoFundMe page if you'd like to donate to Mabel's birthday cake fund.
