“The Founding Fathers: What Were They Thinking?” by Richard Hesse Tuesday, 3/9 @7:00

Please join us on Zoom, Tuesday, March 9th at 7:00 when the Friends of the Library present what promises to be a fascinating program made possible by a grant from the NH Humanities Council.

In 1787 delegates gathered in Philadelphia to address a wide variety of crises facing the young United States of America and produced a charter for a new government.  In modern times, competing political and legal claims are frequently based on what those delegates intended.  Richard Hesse explores the cast of characters called “founders”, the problems they faced, and the solution’s they fashioned.

Copies of Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis are available in the library as a companion read to this presentation.
