Many stories have been collected by long-time Gunnisonville residents who have attended the one room schoolhouse, the newer elementary school, and/or Gunnisonville United Methodist Church. Some still live in their family homesteads. Many have family buried in Gunnisonville Cemetery.
Over the years, neighbors have come together to build, re-build, and repair the school; expand the church; celebrate reunions and centennials; and mark births, marriages, and passings. On Saturday, April 28, 2012, people interested in preserving Gunnisonville's history met to organize a formal group to collect and protect stories, photos, and memorabilia that represent the families who settled and expanded the community. Other goals include protecting the community from commercial creep and applying for historic district status.
We're also talking about events and activities that will bring residents -- past and present -- together to meet new neighbors, renew friendships, and learn more about our history.
