Dear Members and Friends,
"We are excited to announce that the Stoddard County Historical Society meetings have resumed," stated Laura Dumey.
Their first presentation will take place this Thursday, March 20, at 6 p.m.
Join us for an engaging evening featuring a presentation on the Works Progress Administration (WPA) by Margaret Shackleford from Poplar Bluff. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about this pivotal program and its impact on our community.
To make the evening even more enjoyable, we will be serving a delicious charcuterie board.
We hope to see you there for an evening of history, community, and good food!
Warm regards,
Laura Dumey

Bloomfield, MO - Around 60 southeast Missouri veterans took part in the annual Spring Veterans Fishing Day held at the Missouri State Veterans Cemetery in Bloomfield on Friday, May 20, 2022.
This event hasn't been held the last two years due to Covid-19, but Tony Curran, commander of the American Legion Post #59 in Dexter and organizer of the event, made sure it returned this year. They will also host one in the fall.
After a few hours of fishing, each veteran and volunteer were treated to a fish fry with all the trimming, including fries, hushpuppies, pickles, onions, and of course dessert.
