Tartan Days at The Archives

July 15, 2023

8 a.m. – 2 p.m.  Big day in Glencoe.  Come to the Archives.  There will be cupcakes served in the backyard.  Displays.  Books for sale.  And a big anniversary party. 

1:00 p.m.  Historical society will reinstall the time capsule that was removed from the cornerstone of the old Glencoe Town Hall when it was demolished in the early 1960s.  Come see what we have chosen for future generations to discover in the year 2123.
