MEMORIAL DAY EVENT
Thursday 1 PM May 22 Memorial Day Event at the Black Diamond Museum. Conrad “Coke” Roberts to speak about his experience in World War II with a Kamikaze crash into the Aircraft Carrier USS Randolph CVS15.
Keith Watson to speak about his experience in the cold war in the near loss of the Submarine USS Wahoo SS565 off the coast of the Soviet Union.
ARBOR DAY EVENT
The BDHS is extending a cordial invitation to the public, as well as members of the Black Diamond PTA, and their children to participate and celebrate Arbor Day by bringing a flowering plant or shrub from either their yard or a purchased one, and help their child plant it at the Community Flower Garden on the grounds of the Black Diamond Historic Depot Museum. Please do not bring any trees.
Children can place a plant marker with their first name next to their plant, and come back anytime to see how it s growing, and maybe give it some water now and then, as weather permits.
Parents and children will have an opportunity to be introduced to the Museum and what it has to offer for a historic learning experience. Black Diamond was a highly prosperous coal mining community from the late 1800’s to the mid 1900’s, and a wealth of displays and artifacts can be enjoyed at the Museum.
There will be light refreshments and plenty of opportunity for social engagement. Sunshine is on order, but in case it arrives in liquid form, the young visitors’ plants will be stored, with the child’s name, and then planted as soon as the weather permits. A coal miner’s son, “Hard Hat Harry,” might even surprise the young visitors too!
