Scott Shattuck will be discussing “Civil War Companies K and F and how the American Legion took over”
Join us on Veteran's Day, Monday, November 11 at 7:00 when we host Scott Shattuck as he discusses Mason-area companies that contributed to the Union cause during the Civil War. As many of you know, Scott -- a retired history teacher in Mason -- has a passion for military history, particularly local Civil War history. Veteran's Day is a time we should be honoring those who served, and is a good time to learn about local military history.
If you haven't joined us before, our building, located at 200 E Oak St (SE corner of Oak and Barnes), has an auditorium that can seat more than 90. We also have several rooms of displays and exhibits of Mason-related history.
There is no charge for this program, but we do appreciate donations as we are a non-profit organization. If you feel like this program provides a service, look for one of the many donation receptacles around the building.

ABOUT THE CHAMBER
Mason, Michigan, is the seat of Ingham County government.
The clock tower of the historic Ingham County Courthouse is a beacon in the heart of the community and the Courthouse is the centerpiece of our historic downtown area.
The Mason area is a community of about 16,000 people (8,200 in the City of Mason) and is only minutes south of Lansing, the state capital.
The small town lifestyle and agricultural setting of the Mason area attracts residents and employers who enjoy a buffer from nearby suburban areas.
Quiet and attractive neighborhoods, our Cobblestone Village antiques district, rural charm, affordable homes, a high-quality school system and convenient, quick access to the Lansing metropolitan area and Michigan State University are just some of the reasons people enjoy living in the Mason area.
