HARLEM LIBRARY

The Harlem Pubic Library and Little Rockies Senior Center will host Montana Conversations program "A Visit with Theodore Roosevelt" with Archer Ellwein on January 24, 2018. The program will be at the Harlem Public Library at 7 P.M. The presentation is free and open to the public. Funding for the Montana Conversations program is provided by Humanities Montana through grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Montana's Cultural Trust, and private donations.

Meet the vibrant 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Even Roosevelt's critics admired the man who took on the corporate trusts, charged up San Juan Hill, defied the party "bosses," built the Panama Canal, defined conservation and won a Nobel Peace Prize. Hear his views on conservation, agriculture, and democracy, all shaped by his Western experience. Portrayed by Archer Ellwein, President Roosevelt talks of his experiences in Montana as a rancher and sportsman. Following his "press conference" the actor/ historian will come out of character for further discussion.

Acclaimed performer and historian Archer Ellwein, of Sidney, Montana, has toured 17 states portraying Theodore Roosevelt. A Montana native, Ellwein is a well-known radio broadcaster in northeastern Montana and North Dakota.

Join us for a fun, informational and entertaining program. Refreshments will be served.
