History with Kathy Simmer: “The Dark President: Richard Nixon”


Adults / Lifelong Learning -
2026 Summer

Nixon was a highly intelligent man who wondered why people never seemed to like him. He was socially awkward and a little bit paranoid. He kept an Enemies List, and approved the Watergate break-in, but at the same time could be very ethical. Later presidents depended on his wise counsel, but preferred to keep their meetings with him secret. Learn about his important successes, his strange habits, and his relationships both public and private.

Registration deadline: July 7th at 8 am
