The Columbus Historical Society will hold a brief annual meeting for members at 5:30 pm, where we will share highlights from the past year and preview our goals for the future. Immediately following this official business, the public is invited to join CHS at 6 pm for a presentation and tour by historian and Valley Dale's owner, Landa Masdea Brunetto. Light refreshments will be served.
The Valley Dale Ballroom is on the National Register of Historic Places. Valley Dale is a significant fixture as one of the nationally renowned Ballrooms of the "Big Band" musical era of the 30's and 40's. Many famous entertainers, including Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Frank Sinatra and many others have appeared at Valley Dale through the years. It has been refurbished in recent years and still hosts musical programs and other events.
Tickets are free and the program is open to all, but reservations are required by 2pm Friday, October 25.
We look forward to seeing you!
