On Monday, March 17, you have a chance to hear Tom Ramstack, the author of Brookfield: A Fine and Fertile Land, speak about the rich history of the Brookfield and Elm Grove areas. Our area began as a farming community in 1839.
Tom grew up in Elm Grove and heard his father's stories about the people in the Brookfield Township. His quest to learn more - and a desire to write a book - resulted in a twenty year search of historic records and a two-volume book.
The free lecture is sponsored by the Elmbrook Historical Society. It's at 7 pm at Brookfield's Park & Rec Senior Community Center, 2000 N. Calhoun Rd., Brookfield. The meeting is open to the public. Copies of Brookfield: A Fine and Fertile Land will be available for purchase. Ramstack will sign copies.
Call (262) 782-4057 for more information.
