MARQUETTE — The Marquette Regional History Center has announced the annual history award recipients for 2025.

Phyllis Wong will receive the Helen Longyear Paul Award given to recognize individuals. The Peter White Award, which honors foundations, companies, organizations, and institutions, will be given to the Marquette Federation of Women’s Clubs. Others chosen for awards include Blaine Betts, who will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and Aspen Murphy, who will receive the Ameen, Honkala, and Richards Young Historian Award.

They will be honored at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, Feb. 25, during the annual meeting.

“Marquette County has a rich history and cultural heritage that inspires many to interpret, preserve and share it. As a historical institution it is our responsibility to recognize those efforts and promote the achievements of people and organizations making history today,” according to Jessica Bays of the history museum.

The Marquette Regional History Center began an awards program in 1984. The Helen Longyear Paul Award recognizes individuals, and the Peter White Award honors foundations, companies, organizations, and institutions. Both recognize exceptional effort in the enhancement, restoration, conservation, or interpretation of the history of the area.
