"Union Parish Joy Ride" tour of historic sites
Union Museum of History and Art will hold a bus tour of Union Parish historic sites and other points of interest on Saturday, April 18 , from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The fee of $40 will include lunch. The tour will begin in Farmerville at the museum, 211 N. Main Street, and continue to Bernice, Spearsville, Marion, and Haile. The 24-passenger tour bus will be provided by First Baptist Church in Farmerville. “Like last year's event, this will be an exciting opportunity to not only share historical facts with locals, but also introduce high points to newcomers,” says Vickie Wheelis, museum director. Local mayors, the Bernice Historical Society, Reeves Memorial Medical Center, and Spearsville Baptist Church will assist in the project.
Interested persons should call the museum at 318-982-8020 or email at unionmuseum@gmail.com by April 8.
Special thanks to Union General Hospital and to Reeves Memorial Medical Center for sponsoring this event.
