Civil War And Historic Bike To Feature at Huntley History Meet

The Huntley Historical Society's Annual meeting and Election Saturday will feature a Civil War Roundtable on "McHenry County During the War of the Insurrection" and history buff Tom Conley's Huntley-built Lattimer bicycle from the turn of the century (the one before last).

The Historical Society's Annual Meeting starts at 10 am Saturday at American Community Bank and Trust at 47 and Reed Road.
