Scopes Trial program presented to 150 visitors
How It Started, an educational program about the 1925 Scopes Trial, was presented this week to about 150 students and their teachers. The program included an hour-long dramatic presentation about the trial, a historical discussion about the trial with Dr. Ray Legg, and a tour of the Scopes Trial Museum, all in the Rhea County Courthouse where the original trial took place. This is the centennial of the Scopes Trial, and complete stage productions of the Scopes Trial play, Destiny in Dayton, will be performed this July.
