Peterborough Historical Society illustrated public lecture.  James Forrester will be speaking about the restoration/renovation of the historic “Old Red House” in Perth Ontario. Jim, with the help of the heritage trades program at the Perth campus of Algonquin College, is restoring an 1816 building that is closely linked to the early history of Perth. What began as a military settlement after the War of 1812, Perth’s fascinating history has close ties to the tragic death of the Duke of Richmond, Governor General and the senior military officer in the colony, who died in the area after contracting rabies from a rabid fox while inspecting troops at Fort Henry. Join us to learn more about this intriguing building and its history.

In honour of Science Literacy Week (September 16 to 22) the KFPL Live monthly speakers' series will host a presentation on Apollo 11:  The Quest for the Moon by amateur astronomer Frank Hitchens.  Many will remember his 2018 presentation Target Earth, on asteroid impacts, and his 2017 talk Are We Alone?, on the search for extraterrestrial life.

Rarely in history has humanity embarked upon an enterprise as audacious and adventurous as sending the first of our own kind to explore another world.  The Apollo 11 mission of 1969 and the people who made it happen represent what is arguably history's greatest achievement in science and engineering.  Those who watched Neil Armstrong's "one small step" from the Eagle to the moon's surface 50 years ago remember not just the news coverage but also sharing the experience in real time with the rest of the world.

Please join us at 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 21, at our Isabel Turner branch to hear Frank share stories behind Apollo 11 and the first lunar landing.
This presentation is open to adults and teens.  There is no admission charge, but seating is limited.  To avoid disappointment, please register in advance at calendar.kfpl.ca or by phone at (613) 549-8888 as of 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 7.
