Board Meeting and Beyond

The head stone is in the ground!

It's easy peasy! (So he makes it look...)

 Hey fellow History Lovers! We had our board meeting today: here's the update.

- The LCHS board placed the head stone for Dr. William G. Brown in the West Lead Cemetery today. (Photos attached) It was a lovely day, and many thanks to board member Derek Henderson for carrying and placing the heavy stone with reverence.  It's located in the upper North East part of the cemetery.  His new head stone sits on the hill, next to the little rusty sign that originally designated his grave.  

-Three historical projects we decided to proceed with:  

1. Mark the place where Calamity Jane died

2. Mark the Cheyenne Crossing stage stop

3.  Levi Blizzard's new head stone 

-We agreed on a new project as well: Making plaques for Historical Homes/Businesses/Persons/Cemeteries/Churches, etc.  If you want to submit for a historical plaque contact us at lawrencecountyhistory@gmail.com.

-We're in the works of getting an interesting Historian to come speak at our September Member Meeting.  Stay tuned for the upcoming announcement of who and when!

That's all for now, make some History today folks!
