SATURDAY MORNING SEMINARS
On five Saturdays, beginning Saturday, February 21, the Lake of the Woods AARP, in conjunction with the Orange County Historical Society, is sponsoring a series of free Orange County History lectures. They are being presented by local historian and author Frank Walker, and each session will involve different portions of his book, Remembering: A History of Orange County, Virginia.
February 21–Beginnings for a County and a Court House Town.
February28–Before the Beginning; the Land and its People.
March 7–James Madison, his life, his wife, his house, and his Constitution.
March 21–The Civil War: Much Too Close for Comfort.
March 28‑Reconstruction & Race, and Times of Slow and Uneven Adjustments.
Each session will begin at 10 AM in the lower lever of the Clubhouse and will end by or before noon. There are no fees or charges, and coffee will be available. The sessions are structured to be cumulative, but missing a session is certainly not fatal. Possessing and pre-reading a copy of Remembering will be helpful. Many facts and conclusions underlying its chapters will also be presented. Questions and discussion will be encouraged. Informational handouts will be available.
