We're lucky to have Ron Larson come back to the library and do what he does best: teach us about McFarland history! Both tours begin at E.D. Locke Public Library. July 24th's program will be live streamed and recorded for those who cannot attend in person. Live stream link: https://youtube.com/live/mbE8xj3L04k?feature=share.
