PHA PROGRAM FOR JANUARY 2024

 

Pintlala Historical Association meets on Sunday, January 21 at 2:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Pintlala Baptist Church. This is the first meeting of the 2024 year and the time to renew your membership with dues of $15.00 per household. Treasurer, Ina Slade will be present to accept your check or cash.

 

Our program will be presented by Jenna Abbott, a Collections Curator at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Jenna received a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and a certification in Museum Studies from Auburn University at Montgomery and plans to pursue a master’s degree in Public History. She began her association with ADAH in 2022. She spends her days researching and working with the three-dimensional objects in the ADAH’s museum collection. The collections run the gamut from quilts to quills to things you might get from the quartermaster. She is always more than happy to help answer your object-based historical queries. 

 

Jenna’s program for PHA will center around the 1949 Gratitude Train, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States in appreciation for the Friendship Food Train sent by Americans to war-torn Europe in 1947.  Each state and the territory of Hawaii received a boxcar.  Jenna will tell us about Alabama’s boxcar, which is located in Huntsville. Please come learn of this unusual bit of Alabama history.

 

Invite a friend, relative or neighbor to journey to Pintlala with you!  We need to grow our membership roll. Visitors will be welcomed and I think their knowledge of Alabama history will be stimulated!

 

Thank you for your support of PHA during its 37 years of life!
