IV. PRESENTATION OF HISTORIC HOMES GUIDE BROCHURE:
Charlie passed around old photographs of houses and aerial photos for the
brochure. The Board will look over the final draft before printing. Charlie said
he will use drawings of some of the houses instead of photos because they won't
be very clear.
V. PRESENTATION OF HISTORIC MARKER APPLICATIONS:
Charlie presented the historical plaques for houses and buildings. They will be at
the Christmas Open House along with the criteria and application. Joan Rabins
looked over both and said they looked good. We will have our own room at the
Open House.
VL DISCUSSION LINCOLN SCHOOL/BLACK EDUCATION STATE
HISTORICAL MARKER:
The State sent back the application for Lincoln School. They said it did not meet
the criteria; it has to be 75 years. Sharon Colson has a dissertation that she will
give to Charlie. The application has to be extended back in history and reworded
and retitled.
VII. OTHER BUSINESS/BOARD CONCERNS:
Charlie said we did get the marker for the A &M Consolidated approved and it
will be left up to the school to decide how they want to present it. It will take 8-
10 weeks to get the plaques made. Gary presented the historic site marker
application for the Rock Prairie School /Church. The Board looked over the draft
and made a few changes. Emily will retype the draft and mail it to Gary. The
Church granted permission to proceed. A copy of that letter will go with the
draft. Gary will need permission from the Church on the narrative before
sending it in.
There will be no meeting for December. Rather, we will have a reception at
Messina Hof Winery on December 11th from 6 -7 pm. The Board will be invited.
The Conference Center Open House will be December 6th from 3 -7 pm. We
will have a room to present our markers and calendars and brochures. There will
be sign up times for the members to work.
Jim spoke about the Amtrak Station. His proposal was to get the old station
duplicated near where it was before. The Board of Regents was against it. More
discussion followed.
Emily talked to Joan Rabins to be on our committee and she said that she was
too busy this year, but to thank all of the members.
