The Catoosa County Historical Society Resuming Monthly Meetings

  • Saturday, September 12, 2015

The Catoosa County Historical Society will resume its monthly meetings on Monday (Sept. 14) at 7 p.m. in the Old Stone Church, Ringgold.

The speaker will be Janie Dempsey Watts. Her topic will be the historic Yates House and the historical significance of the house as well as the Major Presley Yates family and its contribution to early Catoosa County history.

Ms.

Watts has written an article for the “Catoosa Life” magazine on this subject and her program will include additional information on the Yates and Thedford families that was not printed in the “Catoosa Life” article due to limited space available in the magazine.

Margaret R. Wilson said, "Join us for an interesting program with social hour and refreshments following."

If you have any questions, please call 706-935-5232 or 706-866-3871.
