JUST A REMINDER!

HCGS and HCHS Annual Joint Meeting, August 24, 2023

It is time again for the Hopkins County Genealogical Society's annual joint meeting with the Hopkins County Historical Society. This year it will be held on Thursday, August 24, 2023, at 7:00 p.m., in the Winifred Building at Heritage Park, 416 Jackson Street North, Sulphur Springs, Texas. (This event replaces our regular third Thursday meeting held at the library)!

Once again Paula Altenbaumer will be portraying a historical pioneer woman of Hopkins County. This year she will be presenting the Hargrave family, a very early and prominent family here.

We hope you will join us for this always enjoyable presentation. Light refreshments will be served following this event.
