The July Brown Bag Lunch event will partner up with Encore and present, “50 Years Since the Moonwalk.” This will be held on the 12th at the museum in downtown Plymouth. The August 9th lunch series features Deb Parcell and you will learn more about “Hidden Gems: Landmarks in Marshall County and Indiana.
Bill Snyder is back for the September Brown Bag with “Diggin’ Marshall County: A Mammoth Discovery.” Another local historian, Jeff Kinney from culver will be the featured speaker on October 11th.
