One hundred fifty years later that election will be the topic of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association's 63rd Annual Membership Meeting on Saturday, Nov. 6th, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Madrid Community Center.

Local Lincoln expert and member of the Civil War Roundtable, Terry Niles will speak on the "Election of 1860" as part of the short business meeting that begins at 11 a.m.

Following the presentation, lunch will be served. The cost is $10, and reservations must be made in advance. Lunch will consist of baked ham, scalloped potatoes, vegetable, rolls, dessert and beverage. No reservation is necessary if you plan to attend only the meeting and presentation.
