The families of Thomas Harrison Riley would like to invite the descendants of Elder James Jones, Matlaid Watson Jones, Elizabeth White Jones, Elizabeth Douglas, William Clinton Douglas and James Anderson Douglas to a reunion. We will have a potluck meal at 11am on Sat. June 16, 2007 in the Fort Massac State Park Pavillion. Families are encouraged to bring pictures, documents, family history files and items of interest for viewing and copying. The Metropolis Public Library will be open so that documents can be copied and research can be done from 10 am-6 pm on Sat. Visit their website for more details. You can visit the Massac County web page to find lodging. There are at least 2 hotels with indoor pools for those who have children. Most of the hotels are along I-24 and in close proximity to the park. There is a museum at the fort and a great place to view the Ohio River. For those who are interested in Superman there’s a museum and a 15 ft statue in the downtown area. I have been through the museum and recommend it if you are a fan of Superman. If you’re interested in souvenirs then there are several drugstores in town that have a lot to offer. Mermet Lake is a good place to take a driving tour or to fish if you’re interested in natural areas. For those of you who wish to camp at the park you can visit online the Fort Massac State Park web page for details about camping and costs. The following websites should give you a brief idea of what Metropolis has to offer. http://www.stateparks.com/fort_massac.html http://www.metropolischamber.com/attractions.htm I would like for you to RSVP by May 30, 2007 if you plan to be there so that I get an idea as to how many people to plan for.
