About
Influenza 1918: The Finney County Historical Society will offer another pair of free evening and noon-hour history programs for the public in March as part of the History at High Noon and Evening at the Museum series in Garden City. Sessions for 2021 are taking place with socially-distanced seating and additional COVID-19 precautions. Each is scheduled in the Mary Regan Conference Room of the Finney County Museum, 403 S. Fourth Street in Garden City’s Finnup Park, with access via the north entrance. Programs are sponsored by the Southern Council of the AT&T Pioneers. Up next is “Influenza 1918,” set for noon March 10 and 7 p.m. March 16. Rather than hosting a live speaker this time, the museum is sharing a 60-minute PBS documentary that chronicles what is still termed “the worst pandemic in American history.” The program was produced in 1998 as part of the PBS “American Experience” program series, and is still drawing favorable reviews for the insight it provides on today’s Coronavirus pandemic.
