ACADEMY LECTURE
“The History of Trapp and Sons Celery Farm” Presented by Ned W. Edwards Thursday, July 14, 7:00 pm Mills community House-Upper Level 891 Michigan Ave. Michigan Ave., Benzonia Link to Google map > Many do not realize that the Trapp and Sons Celery Farm in Beulah was the largest employer in Benzie County between 1930 and 1970, producing celery, cabbages, lettuce, radishes, and onions that were marketed and available in grocery stores from Petoskey to Manistee in Michigan and Escanaba to Milwaukee across the big lake.
The story of Martin Trapp and his sons who established this very successful industry will be the focus of the Benzonia Academy Lecture Series at Mills Community House in Benzonia on July 14 at 7:00 P.M. given by a former employee and Trapp family member, Ned W. Edwards. The lecture will feature photos and news articles from the 1930’s, and beyond that tell of the 150 acre farm that was built on the Golden Rule and the advice of Henry Ford.
