A Journey Through Springfield’s Jewish History
June 3, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Jews have been a vital part of Springfield history dating back to the arrival of Julius Hammerslough in the mid 1850s. Since that time, many notable Jews have come and gone, leaving an indelible mark on every sphere of life in this community. It’s time we learn more about them.
Join us at Oak Ridge Cemetery for an afternoon stroll as we learn about some of the fascinating figures and families that have contributed to Springfield’s Jewish history. Perhaps you have a story about one of your family members that you would like to share.
We will be visiting all three of the Jewish sections at Oak Ridge. Light refreshments will be served afterward.
