2010 Event

On Your Own - Sightseeing

By selecting Grove, Oklahoma as the site for our 2009 Genealogy and Writing Retreat on the lake, attendees can stick with the genealogical lectures, attend the writing lectures, take the time to lock yourself away for personal writing, organizing, or "me time", or even strike out on your own - at any time. Too many good lectures to miss? Come early or stay late - the Grand Lake area have lots to offer. Use the retreat as a base for a full-blown vacation or research trip.

Unless you are a dyed-in-the-wool adventurer, consult your favorite Atlas, AAA, software or mapping website such as Mapquest for directions to your destination.
