Finally, October is here! There is the promise of cooler weather and fall color ahead -- at the Historium, we cannot wait!

We have two things coming up this month that we're excited to announce! First, on Thursday, October 10, at 10:00 a.m., Dr. Brooks Blevins of MSU-Springfield will speak about his new book, History of the Ozarks, Volume 2--The Conflicted Ozarks. 



Dr. Blevins, who will have copies of his book for sale, is a gifted speaker, and this talk will surely be of interest to the many who are interested in knowing about the Civil War's impact on the Ozarks. This event is free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served! Hope to see a good crowd next week!

Second, Michelle Werther, our basket queen, is going to teach another beginner basket-making class on Tuesday, October 15, at 10:00. For this event, there is a charge -- $45, which covers instruction and all supplies. You'll go home at the end of the session with a small market basket like this:


Let us know if you'd like to be part of this class so we can have plenty of supplies on hand. You can call  the Historium at 417-679-2400 or email us at ozarkco1@ozarkcountyhistory.org.
