The NOVEMBER meeting of the M.C.H.S. was held on Nov. 6 at the county museum. I told the list that I intended to go to the meeting and report on it. Well, I did intend to go, but forgot. HOWEVER, I have made some calls and found out the topic and an exciting upcoming event. Gilbert Hunter, of the Marshall County Farm Bureau, spoke about the changes in farming over the past century. Some statistics he reported were that in 1900, 50% of people in Marshall Co lived on or operated a farm. In 1950 that number had dropped to 12%, and today it is less that 2%!!! According to the local news and the Marshall County Historical Society, the following report is being made: "The Smithsonian traveling exhibit "BARN AGAIN: CELEBRATING AN AMERICAN ICON" will be on display at the Marshall County Historical Museum, 230 College Street, Lewisburg, Beginning November 20, 1999 through January 16, 2000. Our local "companion" exhibit must be ready for display before that date." I have not heard details about the exhibit, but I'm still trying to find out more. I'll keep you posted. For those who are wondering about your membership and subscriptions to the Hist. Quarterly, I still don't have answers. I have been told that those responsible are "behind" and are trying to catch up. That seems obvious. Happy Hunting, and watch for more from Lewisburg!!!
