Modern Woodmen recently honored Raymond and Nicole Friend of the Leesburg Historical Society as 2022 Modern Woodmen Hometown Heroes.
A dinner was held on Thursday, Oct. 13 at The Alley Neighborhood Grille Restaurant to present the award.
“The Leesburg Historical Society has worked hard this year to provide funding to renovate the old Leesburg Train Depot," Modern Woodmen Financial Representative Dan Mayo said.
"Raymond and Nicole have helped spearhead this project, working many hours to raise public awareness and the dollars needed for the Depot restoration project. It is a project that will take years to accomplish and they have a great vision of what they see the Depot doing for the community in the years ahead."
The Leesburg Historical Society has held fundraisers throughout the year and has plans for a heritage breakfast at the Leesburg Fire Station Community Room on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 8-11 a.m. Pancakes and sausage, biscuits and gravy, live music and a local history display will highlight the event. An antique dealer will be on hand to do appraisals of antiques you would like to bring.

Modern Woodmen gives their Hometown Heroes an opportunity to donate $100 to the charity of their choice. They chose the Leesburg Historical Society as the charity to receive the donation.
