John Haymond from the Historical Society will be here on at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, presenting “Uses and Abuses of History”

This talk will be about how history has been used to advance political agendas, the ways in which legends take root and become thought of as history, and the modern rise of “pseudohistory.”

To sign up for these fun, educational classes stop by the front desk or call 507-433-2370. Come and check out the senior center and see what you’ve been missing.
