HOPE
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Meeting of July 21, 2015
This was one of our rare "field trip" meetings
- a daytime event. Members arrived at the Hope Historical Society around
12:15 P.M. and carpooled to the new Washington Historical Society Museum
on Razorville Road, for this field trip. Photos were taken and will be posted
on www.hopehist.com. Thanks go to our hostesses, Wendy Carr and Charlotte
Henderson, and the members of Washington Historical Society for an informative
tour.
Those present were: Donovan Bowley, Bob Appleby, Arthur Small, Gwen Brodis, Barbara Ludwig, Ann Leadbetter, Cindy and Jim DellaPenna and Jim's mother, and Linda Hillgrove.
Upon our return to Hope President Donovan Bowley showed
us pictures of a horse drawn carriage, built in South Hope, which Vickie
and Herb Harriman of Come Spring Farm in Union have offered to donate to
the HH Society. A motion to accept this gift was made by Bob Appleby which
was seconded, and unanimously accepted. We will need to make arrangements
to transport the carriage to the HHS home. (Vickie Harriman brought it to
the HHS barn, where it may be viewed. More information about the buggy will
be given at the August meeting on Tuesday, August 18.)
The Tuesday, August 18th speaker will be Bill Jones, with the help of
Carlie Mayer, who will present a history of the Hatchet Mountain Camps.
The meeting starts at 7:00 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Hillgrove, Secretary
