Allen Historical Society events

Allen Historical Society will present a series of lectures beginning Sunday, Sept. 17th 2017 at 4:00 with additional lectures on Jan 7th, and April 8, 2018. Publicity will be forthcoming on Jan. and April events.

Our first event on Sept. 17th will feature our own Allen Historian and author or 2 books about the history and people of Allen, Dr. George Shivers. He will take us on a historical journey of the history of religion in Allen prior to there being any churches, through the arrival on horseback of Francis Asbury, establishment of Asbury and then Friendship Church after the Civil War.

There will be light refreshments served and the event is free to the public. Donations are gratefully accepted and will be used toward the restoration of the Huffington/Pollitt house. We hope to see you there! For more information, contact Aggie Culp, 410 546 2043
