Evening with Marshall Trimble Opens
Oracle 1912 Centennial Exhibit

Jan. 28 • 7 pm

To kick off the opening of the OHS Centennial Exhibit, Oracle in 1912, we are honored and delighted to host cowboy singer-storyteller and Arizona’s official State Historian Marshall Trimble for an evening of humorous folklore, poems and songs.
