KIDRON A longtime Kidron business owner who has always had an interest in the history of the area has taken the reins as the president of the Kidron Community Historical Society board.
Art Neuenschwander, who is following in his father’s footsteps as president of Kidron Electric, also is following Paul Neuenschwander’s path as he takes a top leadership position on the historical society board. His father was instrumental in establishing the historical society and served as the vice president for nearly 20 years and also as treasurer, according to an article by Judie Nussbaum in the historical society’s Summer 2020 newsletter, “Bit O’ Vit.”
Wayne Liechty resigned at the end of last year after 30 years.
