Local History Quiz
Presenter
Allen Miller
Summary
PLHS volunteer Allen Miller and short-time (30 year) Powell resident will test, refresh, and maybe expand, your knowledge of Powell and Liberty Township History. This presentation draws on the Society’s archives and is full of “then and now” photographs that chronical change in the area. The quiz will be a piece of cake if you have explored the resources on www.powellhistory.org but whether you have or not, come, have a little fun, and add your own anecdotes to our collection of local history. Don’t worry, grades won’t go on your record.
