With Joel Farkas

An expert on our founding fathers and mothers, Joel Farkas will weave the tale of why and how the Pilgrims set sail on the Mayflower and its legacy. Beginning with the Ancient Greeks through a history of explorers, he will connect the voyage of the Mayflower to the wives of Henry VIII. Farkas’ talk proves to be a voyage to remember.
