The Southwest Wisconsin Cornish Society
was organized in 1991. The purpose of the Society is to “preserve
our Cornish heritage, to preserve our Cornish identity, and
to strengthen our ties with our Cornish relatives and friends.” Another
purpose is to educate visitors and local folks alike, of
the history and uniqueness of the Cornish presence in Mineral
Point and Southwest Wisconsin.
The Society meets twice a year. A St. Piran’s
Day meeting – usually the first weekend in March, and
the Annual Meeting held the first Sunday in May. Special
meetings may be called if someone from Cornwall is visiting
the area.
Annual dues are $10 individual; $12 family;
$15 foreign; $100 annual sustaining; and $150 lifetime – all
of which include a quarterly newsletter.
