309 Tabloid History: Three Trans-Atlantic Adventures
History | Registration opens 8/5/25 9:00 AM EDT
Three fascinating individuals reside in the shadows of our collective memories: Benedict Arnold – he who committed treason; Victoria Woodhull – first female candidate for the American presidency; and Horatio Nelson – “defender” of English civilization. All are connected to both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, England and the Americas; and all have stories epic in the telling. But do we really know them? This is an invitation to experience history drawn from the tabloids: to encounter intrigue, scandal, and naughty stuff. Think of it as a learning experience fraught with “guilty pleasures.” Relish information you might never wished you had known.
