Results to be topic of Murray County Historical Society Annual Meeting
The Murray County Historical Society invites everyone to attend the 2017 annual meeting on Sunday November 5 at 3:00 p.m. at the City Limits Bar and Grill. The agenda for the meeting will be speakers first, pie and ice cream, and the annual meeting. The event is free and open to the public.
This year’s speakers are Jane Bisel and Steve Williams of Blue Planet Museum Consulting. They will present on the historical findings discovered during the Historic Structure Report Process completed on the Dinehart House. Jane Bisel served as the historian on the project and Steve Williams worked as the conservator consultant.
Their findings on the Dinehart family and house rounds out our previous understanding of why the family moved from Chicago and what their importance to this region really was. They have helped discover the correct dates for changes to the Dinehart House and how those changes correspond to life events and economic factors. Their work has been incorporated into the whole historic structural report. This report will inform any further structural improvements and repairs to the house. It will also become the basis for new interpretations for the house.
