Newark Arcadia Historical Society 2020 Winter Lecture Series

The series begins on February 15 and continues every second Saturday until the end of March.  The first lecture is Gone But Not Forgotten by John Zornow.

 

This will be a nostalgic program as only John can present on businesses, buildings, companies, organizations and people from Newark’s past that have been “lost to history”. John is an avid historian and active member of the N-AHS, as well as a columnist for the Times of Wayne County.

All programs are held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays at the Newark-Arcadia Museum, 120 High St.  Admission is free (donations gratefully accepted).  For information, or to hold a seat (usually not necessary), give a call at 315-331-6409.
