Working with the Corps since 1972, Robinson has participated on local historical projects including Ford's Well. He has written numerous articles on the lake's construction and the families present on the Enid land before construction began in 1947. Robinson will show pictures and memorabilia from that time and conduct a question and answer session at the end of the program.
Program is free with price of admission. Admission is $2.50 for adults ages 18-59, and $2.00 for youngsters ages 3-17 and adults over the age of 60.
