History Speaks!
Every spring the Historical Society offers a series of presentations dealing with some aspect of the history of Keswick Ridge and its people. In recent years, as technology has made it possible, we’ve broadcast these occasions live on the Internet and recorded them so that folks who couldn’t attend in person can still enjoy them (scroll through & click link in descriptions for past lectures).
Join us this spring either in person (there’s coffee and treats!) on April 12, 19, & 26 at 2:00pm AST, 112 Rt. 616 (the Old Schoolhouse) or virtually by using the link button below on the day.
