America’s Electoral College (Take Me Back Series) (Sept. 11)

Sept. 11

America’s Electoral College

As part of its TakeMeBack series, the Richfield Historical Society is presenting “America’s Electoral College – What Were They Thinking?" on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. Carl Quatraro, with Speaking on Q, will tell the complete story of the U.S Electoral College – why it was created to choose the president of the United States, and how it works.

The doors will open at 6 p.m. for attendees to view a special display of Richfield historical maps for the years 1811, 1856, 1874, 1891, 1918, 1948, 1953 and 1984. Also on display will be a Native Trails of 1776 map as well as an 1820 Western Reserve and Firelands map. While there won’t be a formal presentation about the documents, two Richfield Historical Society museum volunteers will be on hand to answer questions.

This is an official Ohio History Connection “Ohio Open Doors” event.

            No reservations are required for this free program to be held at Masonic Hall, 3750 Grant St. Call 330-659-4750 for additional information and visit richfieldohiohistoricalsociety.org for event updates. ∞
