Today's Date -- August 18, 2008

The city of Liberty has announced its winter history seminar series.  On Saturday, November 1, Joyce Pecora recalls the Liberty Square of the 1940s at a program called “I Remember When. . .” to be held at the Clay County Museum, located at 14 N. Main Street.

A two-part “Heritage Scrapbooking” program will be given by Shannon Miller on Saturday, December 6. Part One, which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., is a free information presentation. Part Two, from 10:30 a.m. till noon, is a scrapbooking workshop, which requires a $20 materials fee. Space is limited, so pre-registration is a must, at (816) 439-4537. The program will be held at the Corbin Theatre, 15 N. Water Street.

Our own Archives is the subject of the January program, on Saturday, January 3. This is the third year we have been featured in these programs and we always welcome the opportunity to publicize what a great resource we are. The first year we had almost too many people for the building. Then last year we had only a handful. Please come and learn more about us. Even if you are a regular visitor, we may have collections that you are unaware of. Tell your friends. This would be a good opportunity for scout troops and school classes to learn about us and about local history. The program will be held at the Archives, 210 E. Franklin Street.

On Saturday, February 7, the program will be “Ask the Old House Experts”, featuring John Carr, Vern Drottz and Paul Victor. They will answer questions and offer advice about old house rehab.  The location has not yet been announced.

The final program of the season will be a “Bus Tour of Historic Liberty,” a guided tour of Liberty’s historic highlights. The tour will begin at the city parking lot, located at East Kansas and Missouri Streets. Space is limited, so reserve yours
early at (816) 439-4537.

All programs begin at 10:00 a.m. unless otherwise noted. For more information, call (816) 439-4537.
