Webinar: Julian History
Speaker: David Lewis, Julian Historian
As a fourth generation Julian resident, David Lewis knows the history of Julian very well. His family roots began in Julian in 1887 when his grandfather arrived to be a school teacher. His desire to share the history of Julian took shape when he took a tour of Gettysburg in 2007 and decided there was story to be told about his hometown as well. After years of research of Julian and extensive mapping of the local cemetery, he started Julian Historical Tours. The webinar is free, but donations are greatly appreciated. |
