Hannibal Historical Society Meeting
Schedule
Dear Members and Friends:
This year we are going to try some
new things to see if we can expand and improve our Historical Society.
We are going to have “program” meetings and “business” meetings, but not
on the same date. We are hoping that when we have a program, there
will be ample time for audience participation and questions. So… round
up your friends and neighbors and try the new and improved Hannibal Historical
Society. All meetings are free and open to the public, including children
accompanied by an adult. Please check the bold type for the location,
type and time of each meeting.
