The final program in a regional history series by noted regional historian Robert Singletary will be April 29 at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library.

“The Farragut Naval Station Connection” will be the final presentation of “North Idaho: Connections to the Past,” offered free in the library Community Room at 7 p.m.

The series is made possible in part by a grant from the Friends of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library.

Singletary is an active historian in the region. He wrote a weekly history column for the  Coeur d’Alene Press for 10 years and taught history at NIC and Lewis-Clark State College. He also served as a trustee for the Museum of North Idaho and the Idaho State Historical Society. Singletary owns History Unlimited, which specializes in historical tours, lectures and living history performances.

Most recently Singletary has assisted with a local history course for Lakes Middle School and his presentation kicked off the recent "Your Place in History" series sponsored by the Molstead Library at NIC, The Museum of North Idaho and local public libraries.

Singletary will lead a field trip to points of interest related to the series on May 1. Details about the activity will be available at the April 29th program.
