The temperatures are rising, the pollen is floating (much to our dismay), and summer is almost here! That also means Greene County History Week is rapidly approaching: June 9th through the 14th!
We also have a bonus time capsule opening on June 7th to get things started off right!
The Archives is proud to partner with local history organizations to bring special events for Greene County History Week this year. Our partners this year are the Greene County Library, the Greene County Historical Society, Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument, the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center, and Greene County Parks & Trails. With a fantastic group of partners, this week will be full of events you won’t want to miss, including:
- History Within Reach: Exploring Online History & Genealogy Databases, presented by the Greene County Room of the Greene County Library
- The Black Community in Yellow Springs, 1840s-the Present
- Local Women’s History with the Greene County Records Center and Archives
- The Life and Legacy of Brigadier General Charles Young, Presented by the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument
This year, we also have a special opportunity: the Hunt for History! Throughout the week, participants can earn entries into a prize drawing by visiting our partner sites and sharing pictures of their visit in our History Week Facebook group.
Be sure to visit the Greene County History Week website and Facebook group to keep up with all the fantastic events this year. Help us make this the best History Week ever by sharing with your friends and neighbors!
Until next time!
