STRATTON – Victoria Burbank of Lexington and Jefferson will host a program on Sunday, Aug. 15, at the Dead River Historical Society. The program, “The Burbanks of Flagstaff And The Sampson/Burbanks Of Dead River Plantation,” will focus on that family that goes way back in the history of that town.

Burbank will share the many stories told to her by her father and other family members.

The Dead River Area Historical Society is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every weekend during July and August.

Displays include a collection of old carpentry and logging tools, china, glass, a church organ, furniture from native families, a complete schoolroom, a memorial room to the “lost” towns of Flagstaff and Dead River, the lineage of several native families and a host of memorabilia from native homesteads.
