Inclement weather in the form of day-long rain dampened attendees but didn’t dampen their spirits as they took part in the Oct. 13 dedication of the Chester L. Krause Legacy Park in Iola, Wis.
October 13 was the 71st anniversary of the first issue of Numismatic News. More than 200 people from the coin hobby, old car hobby, Legacy Park committee, donors and former Krause Publications employees poured into Iola Historical Society’s (IHS) Machine Shed to honor Chester L. Krause, founder of Krause Publications. The new park is located at the corner of Chet Krause Drive and Water Street, directly across from the first Krause Publications building.
The event was scheduled to be held
