John Becker returns to the Vigo County History Center on Saturday, June 8 at 10:30 AM with another
great program on Vigo County Churches through his postcard collection. Illustrations of the postcards
will show the numerous ethnic and religious groups that settled in Vigo County. Many of the churches
exist, today; others do not.
John is an avid collector of art, books, documents and mailboxes among other items, such as his
postcard collections. A native of Terre Haute, he attained a BS in Chemistry form Rose-Hulman Institute
of Technology and an MS in Technology from ISU. John co-authored “Terre Haute and Vigo County in
Vintage Postcards” with Vigo County Historian and author, Dorothy Jerse. His passion for history
enables him to study and research his well-organized collections. John is always willing to share his
knowledge.
Join us in a vicarious journey through historical churches with John Becker.
Admission is FREE for History Center members. General admission to the History Center is $7 for adults.
