IN OUR LIBRARY SHOWCASE.
WCHPS members Carol Koontz and Barbara
McCoy have displayed the History of 4H. This
organization has been an important part of the our
culture since the early 1900's; take time to see and
appreciate this interesting display.
We again thank John and Claudine McCrady for
allowing us to display their Indian artifacts for the
past few months.
Care to join us?
The historical society always welcomes new members.
Our only requirements are that members have
a sincere interest in history and a desire to see that
history preserved and shared. We hope that members
can be active and attend meetings, but we realize
that not everybody can do that; there are many
who support our preservation efforts only through
their membership dues. Dues are only $10/year for
an individual or family membership. Mail your
check to:
WCHPS, P.O. Box 565, Parkersburg, WV 26102
Please be sure that we have your Name, Address,
and Telephone and let us know if you have any
special interests or talents that you might share.
