Paul Phillips

This announcement was going to be made via our member newsletter first, but seems it already hit the town council meeting on Tuesday. Paul Phillips donated the war plaque that currently hangs in the Country Shopper to the Cokeville Historical Society. He rescued it years ago when a previous mayor was "cleaning house" at the Cokeville Town Hall. It has hung in his store but now that the store is for sale, Paul found a way to ensure the memorial stays in town.

The Cokeville Historical Society and the Town of Cokeville agreed Tuesday evening to refinish the gold leafed-names. The plaque will eventually hang in a Cokeville Historical Society Museum.

Thanks Paul Phillips! What once was trash, seems to be Cokeville' s most wanted treasure...at least for this week.

This is the second item to be donated to the Cokeville Historical Society this year, the first being the original school bell with co-ownership by the schools, where it will be displayed.

The Cokeville Historical Society always welcomes inquiries about donations, monetary or otherwise.
