Support NCHS
Nobles County Historical Society (NCHS) will be holding its annual meeting on Sunday, April 22, at 2:00 p.m in the former National Guard Armory, located at 225 Ninth Street, Worthington. The featured activity will be a presentation on the Armory building itself which has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Using a series of historic photographs, NCHS board representatives will detail the Armory's history and the role it has played in the lives of community residents. The presenters will also provide an update on recent community discussions to relocate the county's history museum to the Armory site.
All NCHS members are encouraged to attend this important annual meeting. In addition to being briefed on the status of the Armory project, attendees will receive a written annual report describing the Society's accomplishments for the past year as well as a summary of its financial accounts. Another critical function of the meeting is to select the individuals who will serve on the NCHS board of directors for the upcoming year. Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the business meeting.
