On March 8, join architectural history consultant, curator, researcher, and author, Paul Larson for “Folk Cottages of Southeast Iowa.”
Jeff Meyer, historian, and Iowa Wesleyan archivist, will present “Did You Hear About the Lady Lawyer? Telecommunications, Railroads, and Information Transmission in 1869” on March 15.
Then, on March 22, the Friends of the Harlan-Lincoln House are hosting a bus trip for a unique opportunity to experience the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Currently, this event has reached its capacity, and registration is closed.
