Number to order the book The Pioneers, please. I tried the one listed 317-373-3750 and got a fax. It screeched, no ringing tone. Thank you.

The correct number is 740.373.3750.

I tried the number listed 740-373-3750 and got a, I think, Fax. Please clarify. Thank you.

Sometimes when both lines are busy it seems to kick the call over to the fax line for some reason.☹️don’t know why.

Ephraim and older brother Rufus were certainly brave and tough soldiers, and noble gentlemen. Thanks for posting!

Come in and see us tomorrow, Friday, April 5th for BROWN BAGGIN’ THRU HISTORY! We will even have these great books for sale in our gift shop!

Cost: FREE Program. Discounted admission for tour of museum

Topic: The Damsels to the Rescue"

Judi Tarowsky will be telling two stories, "The Nettle Spinner" and "The Groach of Loc," both from the Andrew Lang Fairy Books. "The Nettle Spinner" is a tale from Belgium, and "The Groach of Loc" is from Brittany, one of the Celtic Nations.

In many of these old Fairy Tales, women are the heroes - they face the challenges put before them and manage to solve the problems and bring things to a just resolution. We often think of old fairy tales as ones in which the damsel is in distress and much be rescued - but not in these cases! The two female heroes in these stories go about facing their challenges in two different ways, but in the end, come out as victors for all.

This FREE event is at the Campus Martius Museum located at 601 Second Street. This program is free thanks to the generous support of the Washington County Public Library. ... See MoreSee Less
