Join us this Thursday to hear Dr. Angela Anderson discuss the Original Communities of Free State, Belvedere & Dunlora, specifically where she grew up in Freestate. her research over the past 20 plus years has provided her with some rich historical information and when she came home to visit last year, she was amazed at the progress and changes that have been made since she left and went into the military. She will provide as much historical information on Freestate, and as much as she can on Dunlora, and Belvedere. She will provide as much information on the people that lived there from the research that she has gathered, so she is praying that it will be informative and helpful.
