History buff to share unusual stories about presidential elections

Share

Since 1779 there have been 57 presidential elections. Many have yielded interesting and amazing stories, and Michael Harrison, deputy district chief for Congressman Duncan Hunter, will present some of these unusual facts when he speaks to the Ramona Pioneer Historical Society at its potluck dinner Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m.

The public is invited. The get-together will be in the Barnett Barn on the grounds of the Guy B. Woodward Museum, 645 Main St.

Those attending are asked to bring a salad, main dish or dessert to serve eight.

Harrison’s avocation is history, especially the history of the country and government. A Ramona resident, Harrison has worked in Washington, D.C., first for Hunter’s father and now for the Congressman.

The museum, featuring the 1886 Verlaque House, is open Thursday and Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

For more information about the potluck meeting or the museum, call 760-789-7644.
