A new pictorial history of Grinnell called “Images of
America: Grinnell” will be the subject of Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s
Senior Education Program on Monday, Oct. 5.
The authors, Lynn Cavanagh and Mary Schuchmann, will
discuss what they learned about Grinnell in putting together the book, which
was published in July by Arcadia Publishing Company.
The book contains 209 vintage photographs, starting
with the founding of the town and continuing through the 1990s. The photos came
from Drake Community Library, Grinnell College Archives, and the Grinnell
Historical Museum, as well as through the generosity of local individuals and
families.
The program will focus on some of Cavanagh’s and
Schuchmann’s favorite photos. Signed
copies of the book will be available for purchase.
This program is free and open to the public. It will
be held at 10 a.m. in the Drake Community Library, with refreshments beginning
at 9:30 a.m.
Parking is available at the Drake Community Library,
along Park Street, on Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian Church
parking lot. Seniors needing transportation may call GRMC Communications and
Development at 641-236-2593 by the Thursday before the program.
