The Local History Travel Group takes learning outside the library by visiting local historical sites throughout Prince William County, nearby counties, and DC.
It works like a book group, instead of reading, you will visit the location on your own for that month, and the next month meet at the library to discuss the site and find out the new one. Some of the locations we will meet as a group for a tour, but you will be notified of this at the meeting.
The meetings can be attended in person at the Central library or virtually through a Webex link that will be sent to all registered participants. So, if you like history, local travel, and learning outside the box, then we look forward to seeing you at the meeting. For further information, please email: mkitiyakara@pwcgov.org. Registration is required.
