Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all events scheduled by the Whiting/Robertsdale Historical Society are canceled until further notice. This includes the April meeting scheduled for April 23 as well as the annual dinner which was scheduled for this May. The Historical Society building at 1610 119th Street is also closed. Anyone needing to ask questions or send us information should use our website or contact me at fjvargo48@gmail.com. We are also asking people to document how this pandemic is affecting you, your family & our Whiting/Robertsdale community. Keep a journal of your thoughts & feelings, take pictures of your neighborhood & downtown Whiting, whatever you think you need to do to document this time in history. When this is finally over, the HS hopes to have people come in to our building to appear on videotape to tell their stories, just like the HS did when interviewing people about the 1955 Standard Oil fire.
Stay safe & stay at home.
