A historic Antigo location—The Hoffman House—was the venue for the Langlade County Historical Society’s annual banquet Thursday.
The event brought over 80 guests to the refurbished hotel, which has been purchased by Tom and Brady Koss. They enjoyed a catered meal prepared by Fifth Avenue Restaurant and Lounge, plus a program on the 107th Trench Mortar Battery, the famed Antigo military unit that took part in several key battles of World War I, led by Historical Society President Joe Hermolin.
While the venue, an Antigo landmark since 1884, was the star of the evening, Hermolin’s remarks resurrected a time of overwhelming community patriotism and civic pride.
