"Recollections of the Early Days in Indian River County
Please join the Indian River County Historical Society at our September 19th meeting to celebrate our "Pioneer Women". We will learn more about many ladies who helped to make our community the wonderful place we love today.
In January 2019 the IRCHS held a luncheon to honor some of our pioneers. We will highlight their lives and hear their remarks about living in Vero Beach in the early years. Come to the Woman's Club, 1534 21st Street, at 7:00 PM to hear their stories.
