Crater Crawl- Run Around the Rings, September 12, 2026, 10:00 AM

Participants will run or hike a challenging 10K (6.2miles) course that takes them around The Crater Rings, a unique site featuring one of the very few examples of volcanic pit craters in the continental United States (recognized as a National Natural Landmark). The race course will follow a jeep road to the top of the shield volcano, then around the Crater Rings.

We also have a 2.9 mile out-and-back course that leads to a spectacular view of the east crater. This is a great option for those who would like to experience the craters, but don't really want to travel all the way around them on a rough and challenging course.For more info visit: www.cratercrawl.org Crater Rings National Natural LandmarkMain Cinder Butte Road, Mountain Home.

When people start down the genealogy journey, their focus is often births, marriages, and deaths. In time, however, they realize that there is much more to learn. The presentation will discuss where people lived and what work they might have done with a focus on two different documents that are readily available for the period before the 1890s to the advent of WWII. City directories were produced and sold before telephone books became available. Sanborn maps were sold to insurance underwriters to help them better estimate the cost of insurance. Best of all, using the two different documents together can provide a great deal of useful information. Where to find directories and Sanborn maps and how to use them will be covered.
