History Mysteries
Thank you to everyone who joined us in May for the second History Mysteries session. The focus was on historic Route 66 in Williamsville. We will not host a History Mysteries session in June and July since the museum displays will be changing. Follow us on Facebook to find out about the new displays and when we'll meet in August. The August session of History Mysteries will probably focus on local veterans. Thanks to Gail Leonard, with the Decatur Genealogical Society. We appreciated her follow-up genealogy session regarding in-depth on-line research. Lists of recommended web sites are available at the WPLM service desk. Story Time will Resume this Fall
