If you would be interested in
learning a little of Peoria’s
history while you are in
our city, the Peoria Historical
Society has graciously offered
to open the Flanagan House
Museum for
special viewing should anyone like
to visit. The Flanagan
House gives a peek into the
lifestyles of Peoria’s past
inhabitants. But in
order to make it happen, we need
an idea if anyone would be
interested. Let us know if you
would like to visit the Flanagan
House by emailing your thoughts
to
pcgspresident@gmail.com.
You would need to tell us your
preference of Friday afternoon
or Saturday morning. This could
be a great item for those
spouses or children who are
coming but not attending events
on Saturday.
