History at High Noon

Beat the heat this summer with Old Alabama Town’s "History at High Noon” lecture series. Bring your own brown bag lunch and enjoy one-hour talks presented by scholars from our Draughon Seminars in State and Local History series.

The Draughon Seminars in State and Local History are funded by the Kelly Mosley Endowment in honor of Dr. Ralph B. Draughon, president of Auburn University from 1946 to 1965, and a historian with a deep commitment to both state history and public education.

This year, the Draughon Seminars are pleased to highlight the Encyclopedia of Alabama, a free online reference resource on Alabama's history, culture, geography, and natural environment.

Each lecture begins at noon in Old Alabama Town's Loeb Reception Center, located at 301 Columbus Street in downtown Montgomery, and admission is free. For more information, call 1-888-240-4500 or visit www.oldalabamatown.com.
