 This is  the Town and Country Garden Club's third  and final production . We are having a living history  program  telling the life stories of Silver's early settlers and some  later on as well.  23 actors will become the men and women telling interesting challenges they faced. We are dedicating this program to members of  the  now  retired Town  and  Country Garden  Club. For the past 60 years,  the club's mission was to  support and improve Memory Lane. With the proceeds from their now closed downtown gift shop, they contributed thousands of dollars to community projects and scholarships at Western New Mexico University. It will be held at the Memory Lane Cemetery.
This will take place on Memorial Day  May 27, Monday. At  4 to 7. Free of charge.  Visitors should come prepared for a warm, sunny day.  The Silver City Museum will continue the program in the future.
