Mather Lecture Series at the History Center will highlight the history of economic development in Allen County.<\/p>\n<p>All lectures take place at the museum, 302 East Berry, Fort Wayne, at 2 p.m. and are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Local attorney and Coliseum board member Mac Parker will speak about the history and future of the Memorial Coliseum on May 5. His topic is &#8220;You&#8217;ll Never Believe What Happened at the Coliseum&#8221;. Parker will look at the famous people and events in the Coliseum&#8217;s 60 year history and give us a glimpse of what is to come in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Parker is president of the Olive B. Cole Foundation and serves on the Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance, the Northeast Regional Partnership, the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center and the Fort Wayne Convention and Visitors Bureau.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>History Center Executive Director Todd Maxwell Pelfrey completes the lecture season on June 2 with a look at the &#8220;visionary landscape wizard&#8221; George Kessler, whose parks and boulevard plan have defined the look of our city. Pelfrey&#8217;s talk is entitled &#8220;Fort Wayne&#8217;s Park and Boulevard System: A Centennial Perspective&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beginning in March, the History Center&#8217;s blog, &#8220;History Center Notes and Queries&#8221;, has been featuring the work of local writer Mark Meyer and Allen County Historian Tom Castaldi.
