PHOTO OF THE DAY: LESSONS IN HISTORY

This is one of the historical markers erected in 1974 as part of the 100th anniversary of the settlement of the larger Freeman community. It is located at the Salem-Zion Mennonite Church cemetery, with is where most of the 150th anniversary observance of the settlement will take place next month.

On Saturday evening, Sept. 7 and all day Sunday, Sept. 8, a series of programs and services will focus on and celebrate the immigration that brought Germans from Russia from eastern Europe to Dakota Territory beginning in 1874.

An opening worship service and presentation by Marnette Hofer and Tim L. Waltner of Heritage Hall Museum & Archives (HHM&A) will take place Saturday at 7 p.m. at the church, with an ice cream social to follow.

Then on Sunday, a 10 a.m. worship service will be led by Caley Ortman, Karen Andres and Corey Miller, with afternoon tours of historical markers scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. from the church bell tower. A celebration of choral music will conclude the activities Sunday night at 7 p.m. in Pioneer Hall.
