Rabbit Trails into History: Expanding Perspectives

September 9, 2026 • 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
This is a FREE event!

Love history—or just enjoy a great conversation? Join OWLS members and volunteers Kris Carpenter and Peter Graber as they bring back Rabbit Trails into History, an engaging discussion-based exploration of significant world events from 1900 to today.

Each week, the group will dive into a selected historical event, uncover lesser-known details, make connections to the bigger historical picture, and see where the conversation takes them!

At the end of each session, the group will choose the topic for the following week, giving you the option to do a little investigating beforehand—or simply come ready to listen, learn, and join the conversation.

No lectures, no homework required—just history, curiosity, and plenty of interesting rabbit trails!
