"A Band of Music", a history of the Alliance City Band will be presented by band historian Paul Hobe on Tuesday, February 28 at 7 p.m. at Rodman Public Library, 215 E. Broadway St., Alliance. After combing through years and years of Alliance Review microfilm, Paul has pulled together a history of this musical organization that entertained Alliance citizens for over a century.
On Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m., Karen Perone, President of the Alliance Historical Society will present a program on life in Alliance in the late 1800s based on the soon to be published book Alliance As I Knew It: Life in the Late 1800s by William H. Magrath. The program will be held at Rodman Public Library.
Both programs are free and open to the public. Opportunities to purchase the books will be available.
An annual favorite, the Carnation Festival offers an excellent opportunity to learn about Alliance's historical past. Tours of the Mabel Hartzell Historic Home take place daily throughout the Festival.
Admission is by a $3.00 donation which helps support the maintenance of the house and the programs offered by the Historical Society.
As part of your tour, take a moment to relax in our Victorian backyard and garden and enjoy the labors of many local garden clubs and nurseries. We hope that you will visit us to explore one of Alliance's true treasures.
