About The Herald

The Hobart Herald has been the voice of the village since 1893. Printed weekly on cream-colored newsprint and distributed to porches, diners, and barbershops across Proctor County, the Herald covers all the news that matters to Hobart residents: from council meetings and high school sports to stranger things best left unexplained.
