UPCOMING EVENTS
On Thursday, September 26, 7:00 PM at the Museum, Carrie Sowden, from the National Museum of the Great Lakes Speakers’ Bureau, will talk about “Titanic and the Great Lakes”. Her presentation will commemorate the loss of the Titanic with an overview about the ship, its building, first trip, and sinking. She will also share the Great Lakes connections to this tragic story. This presentation is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. Call 330-659-4750 for additional information.
Join us at 1:00 p.m. on any Sunday afternoon during the month of October (10/6, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27), when the Society will magically transport you back in time with its annual History of Richfield Walking Tours. Our narrators/storytellers will take you on a leisurely 1 mile (approximately) walk as you enjoy a 1-hour talk. Participants will meet at the Museum for each tour except the October 27 one which will be held at the West Richfield Cemetery. For that tour, attendees will meet at the cemetery by the flagpole where they will begin their sleuthing expedition. This one may take more than an hour but participants may leave earlier if needed. For more specific hike details, call the Museum at 330-659-0336.
On Sunday, October 20 at 2:30 PM in the Museum, we will present a special Picture This program entitled "Airfields of the 8th," given in memory of 8th Air Force veterans Buzzy Davis and Taylor Thorne. Mark Mitchell's presentation will document his family's effort to locate, explore, and photograph the two airfields in the East Anglia region of England where Buzzy and Taylor served during WWII. You'll be surprised with what they found. This presentation is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. Call 330-659-4750 for additional information.
