Upcoming Lecture:

Second Saturday of April, 4/11 from 10am to 11am | at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 710 E. Yerby St, Marshall, MO

 

Saline County Courthouse (please notice the change of topic as the talk on McChesney's will be rescheduled)

Monte and Henrietta Fenner will discuss Saline County and how Marshall became the county seat. They will discuss Missouri becoming a state and how the Civil War changed the state. Saline County was regarded as a fairly dangerous place, regardless of one's loyalties. Saline County lost their courthouse during the Civil War. Tensions settled in the county after the court house was rebuilt post Civil War. A huge renovation began in 2009. Renovations to the building and grounds will be detailed during this conversation. An 125-year old building needs funds and constant work to keep it updated. Saline County citizens can boast how well-maintained this courthouse continues to be.
