1st Tuesday of each month, 6 pm - 8:30 pm
Small Meeting Room, Lower Level
Come and join your fellow military history aficionados in a meaningful discussion about battles and other military events ranging from circa 1000 BCE up to recent military history. The first half of the discussion will focus on the facts of the battle and the second half will be dedicated to opinions and conjectures about the battle. Everyone will be given equal time to participate in both halves of the discussion. We will wrap up the roundtable with a vote on the topic for the next session. The three priorities for this group are having fun, learning new things, and hopefully developing new friendships. Registration suggested, but not required. Ages 16+. *Topic: Battle of Hastings 1066

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm in the Atrium, Upper Level

Sit and enjoy the concert or browse the stacks and take in the tranquil atmosphere. No registration necessary.

In 1621, a year after their fateful landing at Plymouth Rock, grateful Pilgrim settlers in Massachusetts sat down to a three-day feast with their Native American neighbors. That event, known as “The First Thanksgiving”, left an enduring legacy all across the country – a beloved annual ritual of family, food, faith, and football. Before you get ready to pop your turkey into the oven, join historian John Maietta to explore the history, traditions, and lasting meaning of this uniquely American holiday. No registration required.
