Lunch & Learn: Begged, Borrowed & Stolen- December 11 @ noon

On Wednesday, December 11 we welcome Jan Bridgeford-Smith to the Lunch & Learn for a presentation of  Begged, Borrowed, & Stolen: True Tales of  Thievery from America’s Past,  a collection of true stories detailing the different icons, historical documents, art, patents, ideas, and more that have been stolen throughout US history. Drawing upon years of research and an extensive collection of photographs, Jan Bridgeford-Smith sheds light on how land, art and treasures, ideas, and even bodies and elections were stolen from right under our noses!

Jan Bridgeford-Smith’s ​ passion is history with a twist. She looks for off-the-grid stories from America’s past–that is, stories about famous or obscure people and places where an unfamiliar detail or unexpected anecdote is tucked into the tale.

Light refreshments served. Bring a bag lunch if desired. Register here please.
