CASPIAN — The Iron County Historical Museum will host a series of History Happy Hour events from 6 to 8 p.m. on the last Fridays in June, July and August.

The first event tonight will feature author Robert Knapp, who will share some of the secrets he uncovered while researching for his book “Gangsters Up North: Mobsters, Mafia, and Racketeers in Michigan’s Vacationlands.”

A $5 admission fee that includes an appetizer will be collected at the door from attendees. Beer and wine will be available for purchase. Reservations are encouraged so food plans can be made.
