SUMMARY:Albert Benton Pullman: Railroad Pioneer and American Entrepreneur - Ames History Museum
DESCRIPTION:Albert Benton Pullman: Railroad Pioneer and American Entrepreneur \nTues.\, April 14\, 7 p.m. \nAttend in person: Ames History Museum\, 416 Douglas Ave.\nAttend online: register for the Zoom link\nFree & open to the public\nSpeaker: Simon Cordery \nThis talk details the life of an unjustly neglected Gilded Age figure. Older brother of the notorious George Pullman\, Albert Pullman made several crucial but forgotten contributions to the success of Pullman’s Palace Car Company and engaged in an erratic\, fascinating investment career. He personified the stratum of everyday entrepreneurs whose persistent\, frantic\, sometimes fraudulent\, and often unproductive investments undergirded economic activity. Albert Pullman’s frequently calamitous investments illustrate the precarious nature of Gilded Age capitalism beyond the well-known Robber Barons. \nYour Historians Series presented in partnership by Iowa State University Department of History and Ames History Museum

SUMMARY:History Happy Hour\, "Witchcraft and Skepticism: Salem and Beyond" - Ames History Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join in a spooky evening at the museum! Dive into the history of witchcraft with Dr. Michael Bailey\, sip on two themed drinks\, and enjoy exclusive after-hours exhibit viewing. This event is for ages 21+. Advance reservations required. \nThis History Happy Hour reservation is for 6:30 – 8 p.m. Doors open at 6:20 p.m. – check in at the welcome desk (be ready to show your valid ID). The history talk will begin at 6:45 p.m.\, with time after to view the gallery and explore the museum. \nHistory Talk – “Witchcraft and Skepticism: Salem and Beyond” Speaker: Dr. Michael D. Bailey\, Professor of History and Distinguished Professor in Liberal Arts and Sciences\, Iowa State University: Dr. Bailey will discuss the famous witch hunt in Salem\, Massachusetts\, in 1692\, the largest witch hunt ever to take place in North America.
