Elba citizens tell their history of Elba on new DVD

By Billie Owens

A new DVD of interviews of Elba citizens telling about their connection to the history of Elba is available at the Historical Society of Elba Museum for $10

The museum is open 2 to 4 p.m. on Sundays, or by appointment by calling June C. at 344-2707.

This DVD was put together by James Earl as a project to obtain his Eagle Scout Badge. He graduated as Valedictorian of the Elba Class of 2010.

Other books on the history of Elba are available at the Museum as well as T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps and Elba throws.

The Elba Historical Society welcomes new members. Here are some of the upcoming activities:

  • We are planning a float for the Elba Onion Festival in August;
  • Helen Batchellor will present a program in September on a local "Lady of Questionable Occupation." All are welcome to attend;
  • On Thursday, Oct.7, we will have our Roast Beef Supper and Chinese Auction at the Elba Fireman's Recreation Hall;
  • Also, a Barn Dance is being planned for Oct. 16 with Kelly's Old Timers.
