Mason Area Historical Society would like to extend our condolences to the family of our dedicated board member and docent, Louise (Welton) Face.
Louise volunteered throughout the years participating in museum events, managing the Pink School, and providing caring and solid leadership as a MAHS board member. She enjoyed watching others learn about Mason's history, as well as watching the delight from those that wanted to pull the rope and ring the Pink School bell.
Louise will truly be missed by all of us that knew her, but her lasting efforts towards MAHS and her genuine care for all of it's members will always be appreciated and remembered.

ABOUT THE CHAMBER
Mason, Michigan, is the seat of Ingham County government.
The clock tower of the historic Ingham County Courthouse is a beacon in the heart of the community and the Courthouse is the centerpiece of our historic downtown area.
The Mason area is a community of about 16,000 people (8,200 in the City of Mason) and is only minutes south of Lansing, the state capital.
The small town lifestyle and agricultural setting of the Mason area attracts residents and employers who enjoy a buffer from nearby suburban areas.
Quiet and attractive neighborhoods, our Cobblestone Village antiques district, rural charm, affordable homes, a high-quality school system and convenient, quick access to the Lansing metropolitan area and Michigan State University are just some of the reasons people enjoy living in the Mason area.
