Event Navigation
The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center’s (CSRHC) May Brown Bag presentation will be held on Wednesday, May 10, at noon in the Village Church. Mike Sheriff, an Oklahoma historian and docent at the Oklahoma History Center in Oklahoma City, speak on the impact of events that occurred in April 1865.
Most people experience only a few life-changing events over their entire lifespan. However, people living in the United States underwent more life-altering trials in the month of April 1865 than some people have in their entire lifetime. And, interestingly enough, those trials impact our lives today. Not the least of these occurrences was the first assassination of an American president. Surrounding that historic event are legends and myths that are tied directly to Oklahoma. Sheriff will discuss the lore behind these stories that have been passed down through the ages and, hopefully, dispel myths and stimulate a thought-provoking dialogue.
The CSRHC’s 2017 Brown Bag Lunch & Learn programs are generously sponsored by the law firm of Field, Trojan & Harvey PPLC and Sharon and David Trojan. The lectures are typically held on the second Wednesday of each month at noon. A variety of interesting topics are presented and discussed for the entertainment and enrichment of our community. The presentations are free and open to the public and guests are welcome to bring their lunch.
