On December 21st, nineteenth-century gunfighter Luke Short and his wife Hettie arrived for a tour of the Andrew Johnston House and museum. They told stories of the Old West and about the Pinkerton Detectives in Princeton, who may have passed through Giles County. The Shorts were visiting Princeton, and our friends at the Mercer County Historical Society sent them to us. After a very interesting chat we in turn sent them along to a well-known local eating establishment where they were hospitably entertained.
The Historical Society will be closed January and February. During that time we will planning our events for 2012, including exhibits, lectures, classes and a Civil War weekend. We welcome any ideas and suggestions. Check our website at http://www.gilescountyhistorical.org/ for further information.
