The Benton County Genealogical Society will host a free public program Saturday exploring the Moses Family Papers held by the Benton County Historical Society.
“Moses & Me” is scheduled for 11 a.m.-noon March 14 at Philomath Museum.
Presenter Walter Frankel, a longtime volunteer with the Benton County Historical Society, will draw on the BCHS’s documentary collections to tell the story of the Moses family — the family into which the well-known Vina Moses married. The presentation will also reflect on what Frankel himself has accomplished through 25 years of volunteer work with the organization.
In addition to his work with the BCHS, Frankel serves on the Benton County Cultural Coalition Board and the Oregon Cultural Trust Board. Before retiring in 2000, he had a 37-year career as a librarian, with stops in New York before settling in Corvallis.
The museum is located at 1101 Main St. A wheelchair ramp is available at the northeast corner of the building. Attendees are asked not to bring food or drinks into the museum.
