"Memories" What stories do you remember from your youth? Do you remember walking from the high school over the railroad tracks to eat lunch "uptown", a noon fire whistle, teachers in your one-room school, Jesse George behind the counter at the store, climbing up the steps in the old high school? Were you involved in one of the many organizations - PTO, Lions Club, Masonic Lodge, American Legion, Eastern Star, or the sorority? Tell us your stories. They can be short memories, long essays, or anything in between ... but just tell them! The Kinmundy Historical Society would be honored to preserve your memories and stories. We would love to hear from you!
