The name Candlebeam was chosen for the McClure Historical Society’s publication as a special tribute to McClure’s past. The Candlebeam was the name of the McClure High School yearbook, a publication that captured the students, stories, activities, and memories of generations from our community. By carrying the name forward, the McClure Historical Society pays homage to that treasured piece of local history while continuing its purpose in a new way. Just as the original Candlebeam preserved memories for future generations, today’s Candlebeam seeks to preserve and share the people, places, stories, and history that make McClure home.

Must be a member to receive this publication.
