We are pleased to be partnering with Ashland, MA Public Library for a virtual program as part of the America 250th series.
Join us for a presentation on lesser known Revolutionary War figures with presidential doodler, Heather Rogers!
When: Monday, August 17
Time: 7PM ET
Where: Online (Zoom)
She’ll share trivia and doodles about some figures from history we may not be as familiar with. She’s not even going to mention George Washington or John Adams. OK, she probably will.
But join us for this fascinating conversation anyhow!
About Heather
Heather Rogers isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler” by one of her favorite biographers and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator.
To keep her interest during her accidental spite project, Heather Rogers filled hundreds of sketchbook pages doodling her way through presidential biographies. Doing so heightened her curiosity and turned her into an insufferable presidential nerd. Along the way, she discovered unexpected threads connecting seemingly unconnected people, times, and events. She can’t get enough of the weird trivia, coincidences, and quirks. Like the fact that English wasn’t the first language of the first president born in the U.S. Or that a three-part plan was proposed to bring George Washington back to life. Don’t even get her started on William Henry Harrison – he was only president for a month, but she could talk about him for hours.
