Eckley Miner's Village Associates will host a Molly Maguire-themed program on Sunday in the visitors' center auditorium, free and open to the public. At 1 p.m., Irish folk singer Steve Stanislaw will perform traditional Irish music. At 2 p.m., author Molly Roe will present a lecture on her latest novel, "Call Me Kate: Meeting the Molly Maguires," which focuses on life in the coal region during the Civil War and the Molly Maguires' struggle against the draft act. A book signing will follow the lecture. Eckley is nine miles east of Hazleton, just off Route 940. For more information, call 636-2070 or go to the village Web site at www.eckleyminers.org.
