Historian George Schire, of Oakdale, will be the featured speaker for the Washington County Historical Society Annual Meeting on Thursday, March 19th at the Stillwater Event Center.
Schire, who is the current treasurer of the Washington County Historical Society, will discuss the love affair that America has had with the automobile over the decades which has been hot, lukewarm and even cold, but the one thing is certain, cars are a part of who we are. George will take the attendees on a highway of historical facts and hilarious anecdotes featuring the cars that have shaped all of our lives.
Buckle up your seat belts and mark your calendars for this nostalgic road trip from the Horseless Carriage to present day EV’s.
