The Mayfield Historical Society will host award-winning songwriters and singers Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle as they present a musical and educational program of Appalachian Mountain Songs – Georgia to Maine and Everything in-between” on Monday, October 21, 6:30 p.m. at the Mayfield Presbyterian Church, 22 N. Main St., Mayfield. Admission is free and open to the public. The Appalachian Mountains stretch from Georgia to Maine, and in history were considered the new frontier when settled by the Scotch-Irish and Germans. These groups sought freedom from government and prejudice as well as inexpensive land. Their history is both charming and dark as they struggled to survive and bring their culture with them, especially their music. The program includes eight songs with interesting narrative, about one hour, for adults and teenagers. For more information, contact president Bob Suits at 518-857-2820.
