The MSBA would like to express gratitude to those who came to show their support for our 148th Anniversary Observance.  The weather was pleasantly mild and the commemorating speech, given by MSBA Director Gilbert Wislon, was thorough and concise.  The ceremony was altogether very satisfatory; however, the cannon mis-fired leaving the crowd with an anti-climactic end to an otherwise successful ceremony.  Again, thank you to those of you came out and thank you to the reenactors of the 4th Kentucky Infantry, CS for their participation.

Please join us to celebrate the holiday season!

Join us for our Christmas celebration at the Historic Brown-Lanier House (Wayne Co.).  It's the end of the year and we would like to say thank you to all who have supported and visited us this past year and extend an invitation to those who haven't.  Free tours of the Brown-Lanier House will be given and refreshments will be served.  For more info please call 606-636-4045 or 606-340-1656.
