Good evening,

While plans are ongoing, a new feature will be a presentation by Anne Rogers, professor of anthropology at Western Carolina University. Her topic will be “Cherokee Ceremonial Practices in the 1800s.”

The hour-long presentation will be at the Henn Theater, 1:00 pm and is sponsored by the Friends of the Murphy Public Library.

All the best,

JD
