STAR Foundation supports printing of ‘Tomahawk Time Travelers’ booklet

TOMAHAWK – The Support Tomahawk Area Resources (STAR) Foundation this month awarded a $500.00 grant to the Tomahawk Area Historical Society to support the printing of the popular children’s activity booklet, Tomahawk Time Travelers.

The STAR Foundation explained that Tomahawk Time Travelers, created by local author and illustrator Colleen McCluskey, brings Tomahawk’s history to life through interactive puzzles, riddles and engaging storytelling.

“The booklet follows a group of characters as they travel through time, learning about key moments in Tomahawk’s past while also discovering interesting facts about the community today,” the STAR Foundation said.

The grant will allow the Historical Society to print additional copies of the booklet, which is used as part of the Historical Society’s educational outreach efforts.

Each year, the Historical Society hosts museum tours for third grade students from Tomahawk Elementary School, with every student receiving a copy of the booklet.

The STAR Foundation noted that the booklets are also made available to museum visitors and families, encouraging learning and exploration across generations.

“The STAR Foundation is proud to support projects that promote education, preserve local history and strengthen community connections,” the STAR Foundation stated. “This grant helps ensure that young learners and families continue to have access to creative, locally-developed resources that celebrate Tomahawk’s heritage.”
