Creative Living Series: Historian Author Andrew Carroll presents "Here Is Where" Talk

Here Is Where: Discovering America's Great Forgotten History at the Woodstock Opera House

Andrew Carroll has journeyed across America by car, train, bicycle, plane, helicopter, bus, kayak, and on foot to find the unmarked sites where extraordinary historical events have occurred. From inventions to deaths to bodysnatching -- through conspiracies, scandals, tragedies and triumphs -- he demonstrates that what we know as history is only a small cross-section of the past.

Carroll appears at the Woodstock Opera House on Thursday, November 17 at 10 a.m. Tickets are $25 each and may be purchased through the opera house box office at (815) 338-5300 or online at www.woodstockoperahouse.com

The program is part of the Creative Living Series sponsored by the Woodstock Fine Arts Association, now in its 53rd season. Attendees are invited for coffee and conversation at the Stage Left Café beginning at 9 a.m.
