In her new biography about the eldest daughter of James Monroe, author and Highland interpreter Barbara VornDick replaces the limited—and erroneous—historical narrative about Eliza Monroe Hay with a more complete story of her life and the tragic circumstances of her death. Join us at Highland on March 18 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. as VornDick shares her fascinating journey into the realm of historical research and how the discovery of archival documents on both sides of the Atlantic has illuminated new information about Eliza’s life.
This event will take place at Highland in the lower level of the Event Barn. Admission is free and open to the public. Visit https://highland.org/event/elizas-true-story/ to register
