The Greene County Historical Society is hosting its third installment of “Leafing through Greene County History” this Sunday.

Greene County Historical Society Program Director Margaret Hamilton says the presentation will take place at 2pm at the historical museum, and it will highlight three now unincorporated towns in the county, including Adaza, Farlin and Angus. She points out that the speakers are Jed McGee and Nancy Hanaman and they will go over the artifacts and documents that represented each town, mostly during their heights of population.

Hamilton explains the reason why the Historical Society started these “Leafing” programs was for a change in their normal monthly programs, which is usually about one topic for an hour.

“So rather than doing that, we had the idea of making something short and entertaining. So we ask the speakers to keep it to about 15 minutes per segment and then offering the tea. It’s just something that’s different than our usual programming and a lot of people come just for the tea. So if you’re interested in the history, come for the history. If you’re interested in the tea, come for the tea!”  

Sunday’s event also involves a time for tea, with scones, clotted cream, jam, cookies, finger sandwiches and old fashioned tea. Hamilton adds that space is limited, so pre-registration is preferred by calling her at 515-386-4408.
