We’re excited to host a compelling Historical Author Panel at The Lit!
Built in 1887 as a gathering place for a prominent women’s literary society, this historic landmark continues its legacy of fostering education, storytelling, and cultural connection.
Join us for an engaging discussion with talented authors as they bring history to life through vivid storytelling. From sweeping historical narratives to intimate, character-driven tales, our panelists will explore the real events, figures, and research that shape their work, as well as the delicate balance between fact and fiction.
Featured authors include:
Janyre Tromp
Angela M. Shupe
Sammy Beuker
Caitlin Horrocks
Books will be available for purchase at the event.
This FREE event welcomes individuals of all ages.
