(Please note date change) We will depart the MUMC Parking Lot at 10:45 a.m. for 11:30 a.m. lunch reservations at the Bonnie Cafe in West Frankfort known for serving breakfast all day and their all you can eat buffet. Following lunch we will tour the Frankfort Area Historical Museum. The Frankfort Area Historical Society was organized in January 1971 with a dream of preserving the historical site of Old Frankfort and establishing an historical museum in the former Logan School building. The dream became a reality through the devotion and determination of the Historical Society members, and the museum was dedicated on July 6, 1974. Please join us for another fun outing with great food, fellowship, and a bit of history and education thrown in – and don’t forget to invite a friend!
