Enjoy a night out and indulge in a delicious 3 course meal while learning more about the fascinating history of Decatur County! ​

​

Your $25 ticket will support the Historical Society's efforts to collect and maintain our community's history for future generations!

​

Spend the evening at First Baptist Church's Family Life Center and enjoy a wonderful dinner followed by a multimedia presentation from recently retired Greensburg Fire Department Assistant Chief Brian Wenning highlighting his book Greensburg Fire Department: 150 Years of Dedicated Service. Hear the interesting stories that he has collected and see photos that he has uncovered during his research.

 

His coffee table book describes the 150 year history of the Greensburg Fire Department and will be available for purchase at this event for $40 each (cash or checks made out to the City of Greensburg).

​

Following the main presentation, you will be among the first to view a recently rediscovered 16mm short film from 1949 about when Greensburg was declared a "City of Democracy."
