For Remembering Macon Athletic Events

	The Macon County Historical Society is pleased to be able to offer the book "For Remembering Macon Athletic Events - 1899 - 1976". Lee McDowell was a local sport enthusiast and supporter of the Macon Missouri R-1 school sports program. He created an extensive collection of local sports memorabilia starting in 1899 and ending in 1976. This hardbound book has 253 pages with lots of photos. The sports history starts with photos of the Blees Academy 1899 with photos and articles from the local newspapers of the time; such as the Macon Citizen and the Macon Democrat. There is a section on Macon’s' first girls basketball team in 1909. Each year is represented and it is believed that each team of the year as well. We are pleased to offer this book for $75.00, which will include membership in the Macon County Historical Society for one year and shipping. Funds raised from the sale of the book and membership will go towards the rehabilitation of the former Blees Annex to create the new Macon County Historical Museum. Please contact us to order a book.
