Historical Society marks its third anniversary this week with about 40 members meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Preston N. Johnson. President Johnson presided as committee reports and a member paper recalled the first meeting at Fort concessionnaires in 1953. The group highlighted the fort museum, two centennial celebrations, and near 25,000 visitors last year. The next meeting will be at the ranch home of Mr. and Mrs. George Merril.
