Instructor: Dex Nisson

Dex Nilsson will tell stories behind the names of Huntsville and Madison County places we see or hear about everyday – streets and roads, communities, parks, mountains and streams, schools, and more. The presentation is in two sessions: The first covers a large span of local history. The second is about new names that have occurred mostly in the past several years. After the second session, the author will sign books of his new expanded bicentennial edition of Why Is It Named That? The book now has more history and includes stories behind over 300 area place names. It regularly sells for $14.95, but at this session copies will cost only $10.
