The program features a research roundtable, where participants will provide insight into research on topics ranging from the Manitou Experimental Forest, to food in the New Deal Era. Following the roundtable, guests are invited to a brief reception featuring the Ian Ferguson Trio. The event concludes with a theatrical reading of “Archie Musick’s Art & Letters Between Friends.”
