Winton Historical Society

This is a recent picture of the old John Borth house on the east side of Winton Way near Walnut Avenue. It has now been torn down and a new grocery store will be built at this location. Changes are always taking place.
The newsletter for the Winton Historical Society is now published every other month, instead of quarterly. Members now receive this newsletter 6 times a year instead of just four.
Another change was made recently, we voted to change the dues to $10.00 per year per household regardless of whether there is one person or two at the same address. Most of our members do not attend the meetings, (many live out of town) so it didn't seem fair to charge $15.00 a year just because there were two names on the label. It made more sense to us to just charge the one price per household.
It's really great getting stories from other people, it makes the newsletter more interesting. I'm hoping more people will want to send in their writings. I know everyone has a story.
If you live near Winton, California and are interested in the history of Winton, you are invited to attend our meetings. They are held the first Tuesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. in the C.L.E.O. office. We are a small friendly group. For more information on the Winton Historical Society, you can write to WHS, PO Box 554, Winton, CA 95388 or email me at WintonCA@aol.com
Do you have memories of Winton in the by-gone days? We'd love to hear them. Pictures of Winton, taken before 1975 or there-about? You can send them to the post office box or send as attachments to the email address.
We are also collecting recipes for the Winton Centennial Cookbook, so please send us your favorite recipes. Thanks to all who take the time to send us recipes, stories or pictures.
