Weaks presented history of his family, as related to the Monroe area. He said his ancestors came to the Monroe area in the 1830s. They married into some prominent families in the area. The Weaks family was in business in several of the old buildings that Weaks showed pictures of. He had many photos that came from pictorial books published about the early downtown area, plus some of his own. He had the pictorial books on display and he showed many of the pictures and expounded on the history of some of them.
