Last Monday of June Program to Celebrate Russia History at the Museum
On Monday, June 27th the Versailles Area Museum will welcome our friends from Russia. This upcoming afternoon will be an exciting chance for old friends to gather and share their memories of the village of Russia.
As part of what is known as “The French Crescent” the early families of the parishes of Holy Family, St. Valbert, and St. Remy this area grew and flourished with the influx of French emigrants. Today their successful descendents live and thrive in this area!
Come and share memories of school events, the famous Russia Homecoming and parish life of St. Remy. Or perhaps you played on one of their famous Baseball or Softball teams or the League Champs of the Shelby County in Basketball? Maybe you have memories of the Russia Inn or Shep’s Golden Lantern? Come and share the stories and relive the happy memories of living & growing up in and around Russia.
The program begins at 1:00 and you are encouraged to bring your old photos and your stories to share. The museum will be open for tours and one of our newest displays will feature the great American Bicycle!
Refreshments are provided so you can enjoy your time reminiscing together. Share the news and we will look forward to welcoming a great group for June’s last Monday!
