Dr. Carl Kramer and Mary Kagin Kramer will be present
during the Holiday Open House to sign their new book,
“This Place We Call Home: A History of Clark County, Indiana”.
The writing of the book was funded by the Ogle Foundation,
and it was first released from Indiana University Press in
early September 2007.
The book traces the county’s
history from the formation of the Ohio River approximately
400 million years ago through 2005. It is not only a scholarly
work; it is interesting reading for the local community.
It features information and pictures of many local residents
and historical landmarks.
The book is beautifully
covered and has 480 pages, 17 maps and 241 pictures.
This book makes a special gift for residents and
former residents of Clark County. Books will be available
for purchase at the Museum gift shop during the Holiday
Open House and will continue to be sold as a gift shop item
for $35.00.
Special Offer: As a Special Christmas Sale, this book can
be purchased together with
Baird's 1909 History of Clark County Indiana
which
will be sold at half price: $32.50.
This offer is good until January 15th, 2009.
