Program Description

Event Details

For the April 11th Local History Talks program, we are welcoming guest speaker, Alison Ashley Darby, who will present "The History of Belton".

Author, educator, and community volunteer, Alison Ashley Darby has written two books on the history of Belton, the topic of her presentation. Using archival photographs, she will share the history of Anderson County’s second largest municipality, telling stories of Belton’s entrepreneurs and eccentric characters, and presenting fascinating facts of another age and time. 

Light refreshments will be provided.

Local History Talks is a new ongoing program, meeting the second Tuesday of every other month. Our guest speakers will discuss interesting local history topics within Anderson County.
