History & Storytelling at the Carnegie

Be sure to mark your calendar for this Thursday, September 13th from 6-9pm to be at the Carnegie Heritage & Arts Center of Greene County if you are interested in hearing stories of long ago.

Fred Markle will be leading the history and storytelling session.

He has in the past given several history tours of the downtown Linton area to elementary classes enlightening many young minds of exciting events that took place in our small town.

Storytelling is becoming a lost art. Gone are the days of sitting on the porch and listening to grandpa or grandma tell stories from the past. Instead we are immersed in our technology and many of our youth are missing an important part of our heritage.

Don't miss this great opportunity to learn local history from one of the best and add a story or two of your own!

The Carnegie Heritage & Arts Center is located at 110 East Vincennes Street in Linton. Regular hours are Tuesday noon -3 p.m., Wednesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or Saturday by appointment. For more information call 812 847-0165.

Donna is president and founder of the Carnegie Heritage & Arts Center of Greene County. She can be reached at www.mcklues@gmail.com .
