So many things will be happening here at the Archives! Here's the calendar of events for October and November.

October 18 at 2:00 p.m. is our members meeting with guest speaker Heather Dyar Rose. Heather is the County Administrator, and she will be talking to us about the restoration of the Historic Courthouse. The public is welcome and encouraged to join us.

October 24 starting at 10:00 a.m., Mr. Phil Terry, Master Wood Carver, will have a showing of his work. And you will have a chance to bid on one of his pieces! You can see it in the pictures below. I'm very excited for this event as I admire Phil's work enormously.

And finally, November 2 @2 p.m. the Archives will host the Lawrence County History and Preservation Society as they hold the dedication ceremony for their newest Legends & Lore Marker. This marker recognizes Chicken Foot and it's permanent place in Lawrence County history and folklore. Everyone is invited to come and tell their memories and stories of Chicken Foot!

The Archives has been gifted a new treasure! Thanks to John and Shari Greer, we now have a Moulton High School football helmet. The picture says Moulton's first football team 1915. I'm researching this, but I'm thrilled to have both the picture and the helmet!

Edit: This helmet is NOT from 1915. It is from the 1940s, and it is a youth helmet. I do not know if this was ever used in a Lawrence County. However, because the picture was with it, I will be doing more research to see if I can ascertain who the owner might have been.
