Notes

We discussed the story of Norman Williams and the “Homestead Murders” nine years ago in this post. I’m reposting the image to alert you to the opportunity to here retired attorney Dick Withers tell the story of this case as part of the “Hidden History” lectures at the Museum (and on Zoom). It really is quite a story. I hope this image isn’t too much of a spoiler, but the fact the story didn’t end well for Mr. Williams isn’t too much of a surprise.

The presentation is tomorrow evening at 7PM. Read all about it and get your tickets herehere.

    I am registered for the zoom!!
    I can't believe it was nine years ago when you first showed this photo.
