Joyce October 12, 2023 at 2:33 pmI would love to hear this! Any chance of it being live-streamed? Too far to come. Reply
Smith Vickie October 12, 2023 at 2:46 pmI have tried many times to be able to see the old slave house but my husband didn’t want me to get arrested. I teach a cla** on Monday nights, but I would have loved to have come Reply
Greg Roberts October 12, 2023 at 6:04 pmWhen I was a kid right before it closed to tours I got the privilege to going inside and it dies live up to its reputation as being a hot spot for paranormal activities. This place is what got me interested in the paranormal as well as the history of Southern Illinois Reply
Doug and Betty Lawrence October 12, 2023 at 7:17 pmWe visited the old Crenshaw slave house in past, would love to attend meeting, but may not be able to get away. Please let us know if zoom will be available. Thanks Reply
Doris October 12, 2023 at 8:41 pmI would love to hear this but too far away. Is it to be live-streamed? Reply
Vicki May October 12, 2023 at 9:15 pmMy husband is going to attend but I can’t. Is there a chance it will be recorded and archived? Live streamed and the stream available later for viewing (my church does this every Sunday)? I really want to see the presentation but I have to teach a cla** on the evening of the presentation.

Lana October 12, 2023 at 9:26 pmWould love to hear it! To far away and couldn’t make it on time from work. When younger by it several times. My grandparents, great uncle and aunt toured it—way back. Reply

Aaron Hopfinger October 13, 2023 at 12:41 amI would love to see this but Monday night with travel makes it impossible. We toured that place when I was in school! Creepy! Reply

Tammy Arlt October 13, 2023 at 7:48 amI missed this but would love to see it if you present again please let me know Reply
Tracy October 13, 2023 at 1:37 pmCan you make a video of the presentation online available afterward? I would love to see it but can’t make that day. Reply
Kimberly Davis October 13, 2023 at 8:57 pmWould to attend a live stream! We used to go there in the 70s! Reply
Valerie Hill October 14, 2023 at 10:55 amI have been inside of this many times before it closed to public. Sad that it’s not a part of the States Historical Society and kept open to see such history. Past history let’s us remember not to go backwards and to proceed for future and better things for all of mankind. Reply
