Wilcox Historical Society Upcoming Program
Join Us for Our August Meeting
Sunday, August 30, 2026 • 2:00 PM
Furman Schoolhouse • 8191 County Road 59, Furman, Alabama
“There Is No Such Thing as a Tear Down”
The Wilcox Historical Society invites you to join us for our first meeting of the fall as we welcome Laine Berry of Our Restoration Nation.
Laine and her husband, Kevin, are the creators of Our Restoration Nation, where they share their passion for saving historic homes and giving old buildings new life. Laine will share their preservation experiences, the lessons they have learned along the way, and why they believe even the most neglected historic buildings deserve a second look.
The program is open to the public. We hope you’ll join us in historic Furman!
