Directions and map

Watch this space for history and geneaology related workshops, school presentations and mini-events planned by individual members of the Society to benefit the community.

 

* Correction note: Apologies from the web maintainer - I had understood that the calendar sales were to benefit the Sesquicentennial event fund, and I was mistaken. Calendar sales will benefit the Kinmundy Historical Society, and help us to sponsor various events, not just the Sesquicentennial Celebration (which is administered by a seperate planning committee). Correction made 10/16/2006.
