In-Person Third Thursday Night Out with the First Ladies

Enjoy a fabulous girls’ or date night out with appetizers and drink as we delve into what Helen Taft, Pat Nixon, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Laura Bush all have in common — the fact that they were all teachers!

For our August Third Thursday, we’re going back to school with a deep dive into the world of one room schoolhouses – the main stage where First Ladies like Abigail Fillmore and Lucretia Garfield got their start! Enjoy the museum after hours as our expert staff highlight the legacies of First Ladies Roosevelt, Fillmore, and Garfield and early education in America.

You’ll get an inside look into our newly opened 2024-25 featured exhibit, “Leaders in Literacy: First Ladies as Teachers, Educators, and Librarians” at our Third Thursdays Night Out with the First Ladies. The exhibit is presented by Huntington Bank, and in this curator-led, specialized talk and tour, guests will be fully immersed in the exhibit.

Doors open at 6:00PM; Program begins at 6:30PM at the National First Ladies Library & Museum (205 Market Ave. South, Canton, OH 44702). Free parking is available in the First Ladies National Historic Site parking next to the historic Saxton-McKinley House which is one block south of the Museum.
