NEW LOCATION for our October Meeting!

The Beacon Historical Society's October 24 meeting has been MOVED to our 61 Leonard Street headquarters; it had previously been scheduled to take place at Springfield Baptist Church for a panel discussion on Urban Renewal -- that forum has been postponed until November 14.

Please join us on October 24 from 7 until 8 p.m. for a light reception and an opportunity to view our current exhibit on Urban Renewal's impact on Beacon. Our program will feature a new video titled "Beacon's West End: Residents Remember." The short film features former residents of the West End neighborhood recalling their community and the impact of Urban Renewal, which led to the wholesale demolition of the area from the late 1960s to early 1970s.
