Happy Hour with the Historian is back! The extremely popular lecture series with a twist kicked off its 9th season March 11 at the St. Petersburg Museum of History.
The speaker series was postponed for most of 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic and is reopening with limited in-person seating. Starting in April, the event will feature live-stream viewing.
Held every other month in previous years, due to traditional sell-out crowds, the Museum of History will present Happy Hour with the Historian monthly through the end of 2021.
