Where History Lies

All across our country, along the highways and the forgotten back roads, there are cemeteries, grave yards and burial grounds. These places have stories to tell, not just of people who died but of people who lived. Their remains may be buried but their stories live on.

A Civil War soldier, who fought in major battles of the Great Rebellion, kept a secret for over 50 years. There is another Civil War veteran whose remains lie beneath a small stone which tells of his epic contribution to the Union. A cemetery near us has a sad and violent history. Left behind are epitaphs with messages of sadness and humor.

This special presentation will tell some of those stories and reveal some of those secrets. Visit the Dundee Township Historical Society Museum on May 4th at 2 pm to learn about these and other places “Where History Lies”.

All are welcome. There is no admission fee but donations are graciously accepted. The museum is located at 426 Highland Ave in West Dundee. For more information check our website dundeetownshiphistorical.org or email ZHRocyB8IHNiY2dsb2JhbCAhIG5ldA==.
