Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a rare chance to glimpse our profession at work in a bygone era, the heyday of small towns and their weekly newspapers. You won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to miss the tales Marjorie has to tell. The moderator will be chapter member John C. Long, an editor at <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em> and a co-founder of the museum.<\/p>\n<p>Tours of the museum will be conducted from 6 to 6:45 p.m. The program, with Marjorie McMahon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talk, will begin at 7 at First Baptist Church, a short walk around the block from the museum. After the program, the museum will reopen for more tours, browsing and socializing.<\/p>\n<p>The chapter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fifth annual September getaway to the Main Street Free Press Museum will, as in past years, coincide with the Fredericktown Tomato Show, so a wide variety of food will be available a la carte at booths just outside the museum before and after the program.<\/p>\n<p>The program is free.
