November 16 - Dedication of Historical Marker for St. Matthew's Missionary Baptist Church. Click here for details.
This year's Voices From the Past will be held on October 19, 2024 from noon to 3 pm at the Old Methodist Cemetery and the Montgomery "New" Cemetery in Montgomery, Texas. This event is a guided tour of these two historic cemeteries with actors portraying the historical figures buried there. Hear the memorable stories of their lives, sometimes wild, sometimes frightening, but always true and interesting. As of today's writing, one of our History Taskforce members, Kirsten Beard, will once again portray Martha Bowe Davis Addison alongside John Bowe Addison, the 16-year-old son of Martha as they tell the story of the Montgomery Miracle. This event is brought to the public by the Montgomery Historical Society. Tickets are available by scanning the QR code or by visiting MHS-TX.org. The price of a ticket is a donation to the Montgomery Historical Society. This will be the fifth year of Voices from the Past and widely known as a resource for our 7th grade Texas History students in our area. Come out to learn a little, laugh a little and enjoy the historical cemeteries featured.
