We apologize for the technical difficulties this evening! Stay tuned for a new date!

Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Orphan Trains” is a unique online presentation presented by local history author, Michael Keene. The program explores the audacious relocation scheme which operated between 1854 and 1929, when an estimated 250,000 orphaned or abandoned children were transported west by train and placed in foster homes, mostly in rural mid-western areas, though there were several local placements. The premise now seems incredible, but it developed in response to a crisis in care for homeless children.  Their stories are incredibly haunting and poignant.
Michael Keene will be available online after the viewing for questions.

This event will be live on zoom. here is the registration link:

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Harrison Ford reprises his role as archaeologist and adventurer in this 5th instalment of the action adventure franchise. In 1944, Indiana Jones and Basil Shaw (Toby Jones) cross paths with Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), a Nazi scientist seeking both halves of the Archimedes Dial which, if whole, gives its wielder power over space and time. 25 years later, Jones is being forced into retirement, while Voller is working for NASA under an assumed name. Voller's dream to unite the two halves of the Dial and reintroduce Nazism to the world endures, and only Jones and his goddaughter, Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), stand in Voller's way.
