Historical Socient Winter Lecture Series
Because of a high level of interest in the Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia’s Winter Lecture Series, the remainder of this season’s lectures will be held at the Historic 1917 Courthouse and not at Magnolia Grange as previously announced. The Historic 1917 Courthouse will provide a larger venue for attendees and is located at 10011 Iron Bridge Road in the Chesterfield County government complex.
All lectures take place Fridays at 7 p.m. They are free for members of the historical society and $5 for nonmembers. Reservations are recommended. For more information, call (804) 777-9663.
