Villager Tower Archives Now Available

Villager Tower

Ricki Schultz and I are happy to announce that the full historical archives of the Villager Tower (originally the Carver Gazette) have been digitized and made available at http://carvercurrent.com/villager-tower/.

This newsletter and their archives provide an important history of the last 30 years in the City of Carver.

The Villager Tower by Ricki Schultz started in 1983 as the “Carver Gazette”. Published monthly, it is printed and distributed to the downtown businesses and post office. The newsletter has many local readers, as well as Carver expats across the state and country.
