Chelsea Area Historical Society presents Once a Townie always a Townie

Join the Chelsea Area Historical Society for the next in their first Monday special programs.   It promises to be a fun evening of reminiscing!

Paul Schissler will host a spirited panel including Kathleen Treado Daniels, Anne Treado Mann, Sue Frisbie Bauer, Jan Powers, Cindy Frisbie Gauss, and John Storey as they take us back to those carefree days of bike rides, laughter, and making lifelong memories.

“Growing up just off Main Street made us proud Townies,” remembers Daniels. “We lived on our bikes — me on my pink Schwinn, Anne on her blue one — cruising over to Madison Street to hang with two of the Frisbie girls. Across from us on South Street, the Powers family moved into that big old Victorian (nine kids!) and we became instant friends.”

All across America, in small towns like Chelsea, the 1960s were a time of neighborhood kids, close knit families, and a freedom to roam.

“Roaming Chelsea till the streetlights came on was the best kind of childhood. So many memories, so many familiar faces still here,” said Daniels. “We love this town — can’t wait to share our stories!”

Monday, November 3rd at 7 PM  at the Chelsea Depot, Jackson St.
