Talk About Aurora History

Talk about Aurora History is a roundtable discussion held at the Local History Library @ the Depot on the fourth Tuesday of each month, March through October. It is held from 6:00 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. and is open to the public.

The program was started by Roy Lambert and is now in its eighth year. It has proven to be very successful. It may be that this library is the only one in this area that holds this type of historical roundtable.

This is quite an interesting event for those who are local history buffs and is also helpful to those new to the community searching for details of Aurora. And, of course, it provides humor, as the attendees share folklore.

Various subjects are discussed. Some past events have included churches, doctors, schools, ferries, businesses, World War II, even caves and the Underground Railroad. There are quest speakers, periodically, as well.

New topic suggestions are always welcome.

Come and join us for an educational, but also entertaining evening.
