While Chesaning may have had a few newspapers that reported on local happenings, no record has survived from before The Chesaning Argus began its run in October of 1877. Here are a few items that appeared in other sources that provide a glimpse into the early history of our village.
We conclude our tour of Chesaning in the year 1877 with a few last points of interest that are scattered throughout the village.
