Live Virtual Program: America's Civic Holidays

Most federal holidays now arrive attached to a mattress sale. Underneath that, each one is commemorating something specific.

Jeffrey Urbin, Education Specialist at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum, leads this online session for the Danbury Library on the origins, history and civic weight of America’s most celebrated — and most frequently misunderstood — national traditions.

Good to know. Free, held on Zoom, and registration is required. The joining link is emailed to you once you register.

Hosted by the Danbury Public Library, which notes that participation in its virtual programs is at your own discretion.
