3rd Thursday at Hoover's Presents: "Nine U.S. Capitals"
<div data-block-type="text"><p>Join us for a virtual presentation from the Hoover Presidential Foundation. This program will be presented online via Microsoft Teams.</p></div><div data-block-type="text"><p><strong>Description:</strong> It is difficult to imagine a place other than Washington, DC as our national capital. As the site of the country’s government, it is a symbol of American democracy. </p><p>With its world-class museums, array of impressively designed federal buildings, rich cultural events, active first amendment spaces, historic neighborhoods, and memorials to the significant people and events that have shaped us, Washington, DC is a place of pride, and a “bucket list” trip for most Americans. </p><p>But did you know that before the government of this fledgling nation moved to its permanent location on the banks of the Potomac River in 1800, it conducted business in eight other locations? </p><p>Join National Park Service Ranger Jenny Cripe Davis for a walk through the early years of the country’s history, the chronology of these different sites, and the reasons why there have been so many Capitals. </p><p><strong>About the Speaker:</strong> Jenny Cripe Davis has worked for the National Park Service since 2016, serving at nine different national park sites. She was a ranger at the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site from 2021 – 2023, and is currently in Washington, DC at Rock Creek Park, one of the oldest National Park sites in the country. </p><p>Image: President George Washington laying the cornerstone of the United States Capitol building in 1793. This painting is part of a series historical scenes created by Allyn Cox, displayed on the first floor of the U.S. Capitol's House wing. </p><p>To get the link click <a href="https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/180a705f-89ee-4622-b063-c0afbe32629b@af9f156f-c789-48a5-ad8b-50fabda47391">here</a></p></div>
