Kick off the Christmas season learning about the ways 19th century abolitionists such as Harriet Beecher Stowe combined their holiday celebrations with activism.

McColl will be presenting an overview of the literary and art legacy that follows the holidays. Included are literary passages from Mark Twain, Louise May Alcott, Washington Irving and Harriet Beecher Stowe. She also includes hundreds of images from the great talents such as Winslow Homer, Joseph Leyendecker, F.O.C. Darley and Andy Warhol.

​Signed copies of Ms. McColl's book Twas The Night: The Art and History of the Classic Christmas Poem will be for sale and can be pre-ordered for pickup at the event.

This event is free, though registration is required.
