Overbeck Lectures to Resume in September

The Overbeck History Lecture Series will resume in September at the Naval Lodge Hall at 330 Pennsylvania Avenue S.E. Topics for the new season may include a fresh look at Alexander (“Boss”) Shepherd, the legendary 19th century territorial governor who almost single-handedly turned Washington into a modern city, and an examination of how the city’s residents were denied voting representation in Congress and how they might get it back. We also welcome your suggestions for worthy topics and speakers.

The lectures are free but a reservation is required due to limited seating. Please check back for lecture dates and times, or get on our email notification list by contacting OverbeckLecture@CapitolHillHistory.org.
