Please join us at the Bordley History Center to hear board member Jane Nevins present her work entitled “How Washington Became a God.” Nevins’s book, Turning 200: The Bicentennial of the Constitution (Richardson & Steirman, NY, 1987), told the story of the founding of our government and was the start of her fascination with the Founders and founding. She was a journalist in California in the 1970s, an appointee in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations in the 1980s, and the head of a nonprofit publisher in the 1990s through 2013. Her interest in the American founding is purely an avocation, but she hopes to inspire others to admire and cherish America’s founders, especially George Washington. Come relish in your love for Washington during History Happy Hour at the Bordley, Friday, October 7, at 4pm.
