Ridge Historical Society on 5/16

On Friday 5/16, Ridge Historical Society is hosting a lecture on "The Forgotten House from Our Community’s Founding" about the discovery of a house from the early days of our community. It was built by one of the community’s earliest settler families just a few years after they aided Black freedom seekers nearby. Given the current condition of the house, this is a history you'll want to learn before it is possibly lost to time. 

Check out this lecture at 10621 S. Seeley on 5/16 starting at 7 pm.
