Ottumwa Public Library

OPL is launching a new program for people interested in local and family history. The Reminisce Society will meet once a month, on the fourth Tuesday at 10:00 a.m., and will feature speakers and workshops focusing on Ottumwa and area history and family genealogy, with plenty of opportunities for participants to share reminiscences about the “good old days.”

The Reminisce Society’s first meeting will be Tuesday, September 21, in the library’s Meeting Room, and will feature Ottumwa historian Sue Parrish discussing School Days. Everyone is welcome, and there is no cost or obligation. Bring your memories, your old school memorabilia, and your friends, and enjoy some time kicking back and reflecting on the “Good Old Days.”

Upcoming programs include Getting Started in Genealogy with Dee Hall of the Wapello County Genealogical Society in October, and Identifying and Dating Your Old Photographs with master photographer Michael Lemberger in November.
