5/16/13 - A variety of family activities will offer a blast to the past during this Saturdayâs Howell History Days. This marks the 10th annual celebration and attendees can view the inside of a bee hive, churn butter or scrub on a wash board. Tours of historic buildings are planned and a craft alley and ice cream station can be found on Wetmore Street. The event is hosted by the Howell Area Historical Society and highlights the history of the community, much like a newly released book that will be featured. David D. Finney Jr. and Judith McIntosh authored Howell, which is the latest book in the Images of America series. The book covers roughly 1850 to 1950 and has ten sections. Finney says the hope is that the book will preserve the memories and images of Howellâs past that would otherwise be lost. The Howell History Days celebration will run from 10am until 4pm this Saturday in downtown Howell. (JM)
