Mourning in the 1800’s Event

May 10, 2025 was a sunny spring day and a large crowd showed up to hear local author, historian, lecturer and psychic medium Rev. Tim Shaw talk about Mourning in the 1800's. The event included a wake for 9 month-old Jacob Diehl who died in 1883. We'd like to thank Tim and all the fantastic volunteers who made this event such success, and to the people who attended.
