WEIMAR — Friends of the Weimar Public Library will host Charles Hebert, researcher and author, on Friday, Oct. 25 at 9 a.m. at the United Church Fellowship Hall in Weimar.
Hebert’s knowledge of the period 1790-1836 is recounted through stories and memorabilia you probably have not heard or seen before and is offered by the Friends group as a way of providing an interesting perspective of the time and the period for Weimar’s newest group of seventh graders in Texas history classes.
The stories related by Hebert, based on extensive research of the diaries of Santa Anna, Sam Houston, and those involved in the Runaway Scrape, are not just for listening. They are for you to be a part of. The presentation chronicles the events of a tumultuous time in our state’s history and captivates the audience with displays of authentic and unusual pieces Hebert has collected from the era. The pieces never fail to get 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from audience members.
