LEEDS — The Leeds Historical Society is sponsoring a series of informal gatherings to reminisce about what life was like in Leeds in days gone by. The town’s various neighborhoods all had their own unique personalities, and members are hoping to hear more about them.

The first of these gatherings will focus on the south end of Leeds, including Leeds Junction, Curtis Corner, the Plains and Kenney roads and Quaker Ridge. It will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, at the Leeds Community Church, 123 Church Hill Road.

Community members are invited to share what they remember about living in the south end of Leeds. Where did you shop? Where did you play? Did you catch the train in Leeds Junction to go to “the city” for a day of shopping or work? Did you belong to Tri-Corner? Maybe it’s the church or Grange that sticks out in your mind, or summer afternoons when all the kids in the neighborhood met to play ball in a field. Maybe it’s the first radio in town, or the boy who used to give you rides in his jalopy.

People are encouraged to bring photographs and other memorabilia so they can be scanned and the copies added to the Historical Society’s collection. The programs are free and open to anyone, no matter what part of town they called home. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, call Laura Juraska at 524-2324 or Pam Bell at 933-4121.
