BECHS club hosting presentation on historic vehicles
The Blue Earth County Historical Society’s Fingerprints and Footnotes Club’s next program is: “Keep Up to Speed: The history of the vehicles in the R.D. Hubbard Carriage House” with Larry Kortuem.
The free presentation will be held 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the R.D. Hubbard Carriage House, 606 S. Broad St..
An excerpt from the press release: “There are antiques, one-of-a-kind classics and exquisite examples of automotive craftsmanship. The Historical Society features an immaculately restored vintage 1916 Buick Fire Truck. From the “horseless carriage” to a sleekly designed “speedster,” you will not be disappointed with this breathtaking display of automotive history.”
The presentation will explore the automobile and its impacts upon America’s history and everyday life.
