Beverly Shores was a hit!

The March meeting was a huge success!  We spent the evening learning about the town of Beverly Shores from Carl Reed.  Reed spent the evening relating tales of how the town was first started through the work of developer Frederick H. Bartlett and his original concept of a resort community.

Edwin Way Teale - February 18, 2010

The February meeting was a huge hit.  The presentation by DHS member Tory Duhamell brought in Edwin Way Teal fans from all over the area. 

The presentation featured photographs of Teal later in his life along with photos of his grandparents and photos taken by Teal with his first box camera during his summers at Lone Oak Farm in Furnessville, IN.

Following the presentation there was a discussion on Teal's life and works by the various people who attended the program.  The discussion included the approximate location of Lone Oak Farm in Furnessville.  More information as to the farm's location can be found at the Westchester Township History Museum in Chesterton.
