Dan Wykes, Educator at the Byron Museum of History and Lucius Read

House, will speak to Gold and Silver Fellowship on Thursday, March 2.

The group will gather at 11:30 a.m. at Park Hills Winnebago Church, 500 West
Winnebago St.

The Read home was a “Station” on the “Underground Railroad,” offering refuge to fugitive slaves, as they made their way from slave states to free states, and eventually, into Canada.

Wykes does his presentation in the costume of an Underground Railroad
“conductor” and displays related artifacts.

A main course will be provided for lunch. Those attending will bring side dishes and desserts.

Any who are unable to bring food are also
welcome.  For more information, contact Pastor Gary Brown at 330-388-8950.
