Our program on 10/20 was PDG Derryl Garner who brought us some very interesting “Old” documents and pictures which related to the history of Newport. One framed document was the original city ordinances, of which many well depicted the way people lived during the early years, after Newport was chartered. Another was a framed receipt for partial payment to a person who planned the layout of Newport. This person made a lot of money, the partial payment being $14.00. If you are interested in seeing more or the history of our town of Newport, go over to City Hall and look into the Remembrance Room. There is much to see and much to learn. It is fascinating!
