Books and Greens

Tomorrow is the last Saturday for our winter farmer's market.  The Lebanon Farmers' Market opens Thursday, May 17 from 3pm to 7pm on west Main street.  We will miss the market and the folks who visited the museum and our gift shop all winter on their way to buy those wonderful baked goods and other things from the farmers market.

Lettuce and Swiss Chard at the winter farmer's market last Saturday,  inside the Warren County History Center, 105 S. Broadway, Lebanon, OH.  Last Saturday for Free Admission to the museum.

We hope you won't forget that we have a really great gift shop and book store just inside the front doors of the museum. Yes, I know you have to climb all those steps to get to us, but just think what great exercise you are getting.  Also, the gift shop and book store have no admission charge, so come on in and see all our great stuff.

We sell a lot of books from our bookstore. Here's some of our favorites:

The Seed & Weed Garden Club hasn't been active for twenty years or so, but this cookbook is still available and has some of the best recipes anywhere including some from the Golden Lamb contributed by the Jones and Helen Kaufman's killer chocolate cake - still the best chocolate cake on the planet. You need to get this book!

We have a lot of ghost activity in both Glendower and the History Center and we love to take people on ghost tours.  Glendower is mentioned in this book along with the Golden Lamb and many other places in Warren County.

An award winning book, this is a great gift for anyone from Lebanon.  Artist Sylvia Outland and author Fred Compton were both instrumental in putting this book together for Lebanon's 200th birthday. It's one of the best history books anywhere. It's only $30.00, hardcover, full color.

Everyone who lives in Lebanon should have a copy of this book.  Its quick and easy to read -most chapters are only two pages in length, but you get all the best nuggets of Lebanon's history.
