| Don't Miss It! |
May 9th, 2016, don’t miss this Dorcheat
Historical Museum event for 2016! It’s
our last museum event before our summer break from speakers. Doors Open at 5:30.
Red
Turner has been called a “Salty Saint.” He was that and so much more. He
explored Minden as a child, played football for the Crimson Tide, fought in
WWII as a Marine, returned home and bought Turner Lumber Company, married and
reared a family, and built some of the most beautiful homes in Minden. Red
lived in the gentle, relaxed years of Minden. If you were privileged to have
lived here during those years, you will enjoy “reliving” the memories. If you weren’t, you will enjoy learning about
Minden in the “olden days.” Join us at the Dorcheat Museum for the 59th “Night at the Museum” Monday May 9th,
2016. Hear Red’s stories of
Minden from the 1920’s thru the 1970’s, as related by his daughter, Claire
Turner Fussell.
Don't miss your chance to hear about some of our local
history. The museum events will be held in the Media/Learning room at the
Dorcheat Historical Association Museum, 116 Pearl Street, Minden, La.
Museum doors will open at 5:30 p.m., with first-come, first-serve
seating. Program begins at 6:00 p.m., admission is free with potluck desserts
