History Talks to begin Saturday at the Museum
The fall series of the History Talks program begins Saturday at the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History at 2 p.m.
Marion Venable will give a talk about General Henry Wolfe Butner, a World War I general from this area.
“I’m looking forward to the program. Right now there is a renewed interested in World War I in history circles. All the folks who lived through that experience are gone. So, for whatever reason, there’s beginning to be a rekindling of interest in World War I and World War II history,” said Matt Edwards, executive director of the museum. “We approached Marion, who is always a wealth of knowledge, about being our kick-off speaker this fall. This is going to be a great program. It’s free to the public.”
