Investigating Legends, Myths, and Mysteries
Is there anyone who doesn’t like a good story? We all have family stories that have passed down through the generations. They were typically based on a grain of truth that, over years of repetition, evolved to add interest and keep the story alive.
Similarly, a town’s legends, myths, and mysteries are retold to a broader audience in an effort to differentiate and promote the community. If you enjoy puzzles, you’ll love the rewarding adventure of becoming a “history detective” as you discover whether the story is correct, merely conjecture, or false.
Join me for an in-depth look at several of Vestal’s legends to determine their validity.
About our presenter:
