Marlowe Mementos Encourage Huntley Historical Society Members

Memento bricks dating from just after the Civil War are an enticement to join the Huntley Historical Society holding its first general meeting and election next Saturday, July 23,  at American Community Bank in Huntley.  The 10 am event's entitled "Huntley's Rendezvous With History" and includes a lecture on "McHenry County Before the Civil War", a display of Huntley artifacts and a presentation of pre-Civil War dress.

The first 100 charter members to join the Huntley Historical Society will receive an 1867 brick salvaged from the Marlowe Feed store, stenciled with a depiction of the whilom Huntley landmark.
