History Group To Meet

Massillon Museum History Group To Meet

The Massillon Museum’s History Discussion Group, “Massillon Remembers,” will talk about “Wish You Were Here” (postcard collecting) at its monthly session at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 3, at the Museum. Participants may tell about interesting cards they have sent, received, or collected and are encouraged to bring postcards to help illustrate their stories. Chris Craft moderates the discussion.

The History Group meets on the first Tuesday of every month from 10:00 a.m. until noon to chat casually about a pre-announced topic, usually a narrow segment of Massillon history. The March session will be “So Long, Cod Liver Oil!” (home remedies); April will cover old-time radio; and the May topic will be favorite or unusual pets and animal experiences.

The “Massillon Remembers” group is free and open to everyone; new participants are welcome at any time. Some people come to every session; others attend when the topic is of particular interest. No reservations are required.

Coffee and sweets are available for a donation in the Fred F. Silk Community Room, where the group meets, or participants may wish to get a specialty coffee and a muffin in the Chit Chat Coffee Shop on their way through the Museum lobby.

The Massillon Museum is located at 121 Lincoln Way East (Ohio 172), in downtown Massillon. For more information, call the Massillon Museum at 330-833-4061 or visit www.massillonmuseum.org.
