“Vintage Voices highlights the stories of so many people who contributed to the Alton area: people who were often well-known during their lifetimes, but whose legacies are now buried in books and newspaper articles. We need you to help bring these stories back to life! Please come out for auditions on June 25, 2022,” says Lacy McDonald, Historian, and Secretary.
The annual Vintage Voices tours are held in the Alton Cemetery (5th and Vine Streets.) Mark your calendars for the first two weekends in October: 1, 2, 8, 9, 2022.
