Images of America: Havre is Miss Emily's latest book showcasing her love of Havre history.  Released in June 2015, the book includes pictures and histories of Old Downtown Havre, historic homes, public buildings, churches and schools, people and their activities and other subjects of historic note. Her first book, Images of America: Hill County was written by Miss Emily and her friend and mentor, Lou Lucke. Released in 2009, it contains photographs both old and new along with useful historical information. These books were designed to explain the area's history on their own as well as be perfect companions to other books written about Hill County's diverse and rich history. Images of America: Havre and Hill County are available at select Havre businesses or by calling Miss Emily.
As with any task of this magnitude, corrections are a necessary part of the business. Sometimes picture credits need correction and citizens provide more information than previously known. A free sheet of updates for Hill County is available by calling Miss Emily. If you have further information, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Emily so the information can be updated!

Restoration News

All proceeds from tour, book, DVD and product sales, research contracts and events are to be used for the restoration and operation of a house museum, to be located in the historic Mathews home at 124 Third Street.  Our immediate need is a fresh coat of exterior paint and we chose autumn colors, honoring our favorite season!  There are many more tasks on the list, including foundation stabilization and a new roof. Our goal is to restore both the historic Mathews and Boone/Dalrymple homes to their former glory, continue our current offerings, and add more including a bed and breakfast.
