The McCroskey Regional Historical & Genealogical Society is a new society that formed in October of 2004 and serves West Benewah County and North Latah County, Idaho and NE Whitman County, Washington. October 4th at 7PM will be our first annual meeting. The Society regularly meets the first Tuesday of each month downstairs at the Tensed Community Building.

October 1st we will be kicking off National Family History Month with a "Local Men in History" honoree dinner to be held at 5PM at the Tensed Community Building. Each March we honor 10 women in conjunction with National Women's History Month and each October we honor 10 men in conjunction with National Family History Month. Members of the community are encourage to nominate individuals for these honors and once nominations are received members of the Society vote for 10 men or women. The Society collects photos and biographies of the honorees and present a powerpoint slide show during the dinner and create two identical scrapbooks featuring the honorees. One scrapbook is archived permanently with the Society and the mate to it is raffled off during the dinner. This has proved to be a popular feature of our event and serves to gather biographical information about the honorees for archiving by the Society as well as a sharing of local history from one generation to another within our community.
