About our MGS Monthly Meetings

Montgomery Genealogical Society (MGS) meetings are normally held on the second Sunday of each month and are located at the Figh-Pickett-Barnes House on the corner of Court and Mildred Streets in Montgomery. However, please note that there will be NO May Meeting. The next meeting will be held Sunday, June 3rd.

The program for our June 3rd meeting will be David Tyrone Crowley who will portray President Jefferson Davis while giving his 2^nd Inaugural Speech as given at Richmond, Virginia in 1862. Please note that this will be performed on the actual birthday of Jefferson Davis, which was June 3, 1808.

Refreshments will be offered after the program, as always. Please come to enjoy the program and the fellowship with other family and local history enthusiasts--and bring a friend or two along with you!
