Welcome!!

Book Launch

Many friends of the museum will be familiar with Bob Hasler’s series of books about the history of The Junction area of Paris. Bob has tirelessly researched the properties, the businesses, the train lines and now, finally, the people of the Junction. Congratulations are certainly in order for his work on this series of books, which is an amazing reconstruction of a specific area of town between 1900 and 1960. The details in each book are a true gift to those interested in the history of Paris.

This fifth and final book in his series is being launched at the Museum on November 24th, beginning at 2pm. Bob will be there to sign books and chat with you.

His other books are also currently available in limited quantities, but can be ordered. More information on this will be available at the book launch.

Only a few days left!
