This weekend! Join us on Sunday, September 20 at 1 p.m. for a talk on the truth behind President James A. Garfield's assassination as told by Netflix's "Death by Lightning" documentary.

In the age of the historical drama, how can you tell what is real and what has been dramatized? Join us on Sunday, September 20 at 1pm for a free history presentation by Paul Lambert Sr. about the true story behind the Netflix miniseries "Death by Lightning."
