On Thursday at the Milwaukee County Historical society, 910 N. 3rd St. in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin illustrator Ken Stark will sign copies of the book Orphan Train, which he illustrated. The accompanying reception from 7 pm is free. Stark is present for an exhibit of his work illustrating a children's book about the orphan trains, which operated from before the Civil War to 1929. Free snacks, interesting story, a chance to meet others who'd enjoy discussing this subject. If you're in town, consider stopping.

Spotted a paragraph in today's paper and thought others might not know of the opportunity. Ashley
