If you are reading this, somewhere in the present or past you have been a part of the community of Forest City or surrounding areas. That means somewhere, sometimes you, your family, or friends made the Forest City Summit. The Winnebago Historical Society was proud to be able to work together with the help of our amazing supporters to be able to provide our patrons with access to the Forest City Summit newspapers in digital form from years 1871-2018.
