Do you have an interest in Wake Forest
area history? Do you have any old
photographs which show people or
buildings that could help illustrate
that history?
If so, you need to be at the
Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce Sunday,
Sept. 9, at 4 p.m. for the first meeting
of the Wake Forest Historical
Association.
The program for that first
meeting will be about life in the Town
of Royall Mills, now usually referred to
as the mill village, which was
incorporated in 1907.
That will be a lead-in to
the celebration of the centennial which
is planned for Nov. 3 in Glen Royal
Baptist Church.
The mission of the
historical association, which grew out
of Project Preserve Our Past, is to
collect photographs, documents and
artifacts for the town museum that will
be housed in the annex planned behind
the Calvin Jones House, the Wake Forest
College Birthplace.
At this first meeting, there
will be a scanner available. People who
bring their old photographs can have
them scanned and returned immediately.
The association plans four
quarterly meetings. |
