About this Event

This is a rare opportunity for Natchez to hear Geraldine Brooks in person. Due to the great support of the Historic Natchez Foundation, Geraldine will share her research, stories and historical facts that she uncovered as she composed this amazing boook about Lexington, a horse of majestic talents. Trained in Natchez, this story encorporates William Johnson, a free man of color, the three Natchez horserace tracks, and Bonventura, the home of Captain Willa Viley. This story will engage you in ways you never imagined.
