Wabash County Museum Thursday Parlay

Wabash Community Event

Join us at the Museum for another installment of our new program for history lovers called “The Thursday Parlay.” The Thursday Parlay is an in-person speakers’ series with a different guest speaker and topic each month. Each meeting will begin with donuts, coffee and conversation from 10 – 10:30 am followed by some Museum updates and then our featured speaker from 10:30 – 11:30 am in the Porter Room at the Museum.

On April 6th, the Thursday Parlay will be more hands-on as Wabash County Recorder, Eric Rish, will walk guests through ways to “Research Your Historic Home at the Wabash County Courthouse.” Eric is intimately familiar with the property records of Wabash County and is one of the very best sources around for learning about properties in Wabash County.
