The McDonald County Historical Society will host its next meeting at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21 at the new courthouse north of the Pineville Square.
The guest speaker is Jo Pearcy, former McDonald County schoolteacher and author of several children's books. You will want to hear Pearcy as she talks about the good old days in the county.
The Historical Society Research Committee is gathering family histories of McDonald County families for their latest book project, "Journey Through Time with McDonald County Families." Submit your family's history now to be included in this important book.
Do you have county photos or old artifacts that you would like to donate to the Historical Society? Would you like to be a part of our Historical Society that is growing? If so, contact us today. We welcome everyone, young or old to be a part of McDonald County's history preservation.
The Historic Courthouse Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday afternoons provided there are volunteers to work those hours.
