Every town has a story. While some stories are still being written, others have ended. Hear the stories of abandoned towns around the state; how they started and what led to their eventual demise. You'll also learn how to find the records from towns that no longer exist. Thursday, August 21, 6-7pm in Marvin Auditorium.
