Join us for this Sunday’s (9/17) H & H Program featuring the life story of the intrepid Swedish American pioneer, Peter Henning.

Henning (1868-1955) was one of our colorful and influencial pioneers who settled in and helped develop the community known as East Stanwood.  His career included experience as a Yukon Gold Rush entrepreneur, railroad and road builder, logger, farmer, and millworker.  He was influential in the development of the East Stanwood school district of the day, the early banks, the Snohomish County Roads Commision and the Stevens Pass Highway Assn.

Enduring many hardships and setbacks he still led a life of hard work with many more successful accomplishments.

The program features a DVD presentation highlighting the story told in the book.
