Tyrone Councilwoman Linda Howard will be the speaker at the Margaret Mitchell Library, 195 Lee St., Fayetteville.

A nearly lifelong resident of Tyrone, Howard will share some of her wealth of information about Tyrone’s history, according to a city statement.

Last year, Howard was instrumental in the establishment of Tyrone’s museum.

She also was the driving force behind Tyrone’s Centennial Album, which was released in 2011.
