Looking for information about the formation of the Village? Want to know why the trains run on the left-hand side of the road? How about information about the pleasant garden in downtown Glencoe—who is it named for and why is it there?

To answer those questions, click on www.GlencoeHistoricalSociety.org, the Glencoe Historical Society’s new up-and-running Web site.

Historical Society Board Member Nello Lucchesi, whose vocation is computer technology, has volunteered his time to create the lovely site—with information about the Society, the Village and upcoming events. Lucchesi spent hours loading all sorts of information onto the site and making it easy to get around. From information about the Eklund Garden Campaign fund to a report on last year’s Crowing Glory hat exhibit and photos of architecturally significant homes, a variety of information exists on the site.

Residents are welcome to browse or sign up for e-mail alerts. The Society will continue to input new information, while remembering its historical roots. Take a look—and stay a while.

    My name is Scott B. Thompson, Sr. I am the director of the Dublin-Laurens Museum in Dublin, Ga. I am looking for information on Dr. Franklin Gowdy. He was an all american football player for the Univ. of Chicago in the 1920s and was a physician. He practiced at the Naval Hospital here in Dublin in 1945. I am putting together an article on the 60th anniversary of the VA in January. I believe Dr. Gowdy may have been from the Glencoe area. Can you help?

    Sincerely yours,

    Scott B. Thompson, Sr.
