This month's Historical Association's program is asking for audience participation. The history lovers want you to bring in your favorite family heirloom, historic photo or interesting item from the past.

"We did a similar program several years ago and it was extremely popular," said James Metcalf, chief docent for the museum. "With our rich Polk County history, we are always pleasantly surprised at what local folks bring in for their "show and tell".

The March program will be on Tuesday, March 12th at 2pm. As with all of their monthly programs the public is invited. It will be held inside the Polk County Museum. Please do not forget to bring a historic item to the event. There is free admission. The museum is located in downtown Columbus at 60 Walker Street.
