Thursday, October 17 at 6 p.m. for Leesburg’s Lone Oak (Cemetery) Moonlight Tour. Some of the Chetwynd colonists are buried there—among them Capt. John William Henry Ogilby who “died [January 1888] rather suddenly. . . from a chill aught in surveying the Race Course.” Ogilby was the “originator” of the Sunday horse races.
Thursday, October 24 at 1 p.m. at the Lady Lake Library, sponsored by the Lady Lake Historical Society. This new and accommodating library is very close to Conant. Attendees will be introduced to an old but full map of Conant discussed below in a previous post. Call 259-4359 or 408-1150 to reserve a seat.
Tuesday, January 1 at 3:30 p.m. at the Leesburg Public Library, sponsored by the Leesburg Heritage Society. Glorianne Fahs was so gracious and helpful during the research phase of The Chetwynd Chronicles.
