In honor of America250, join the Addison Historical Museum and the Addison Public Library as they explore "The Founding Fathers: Myths, Realities, and Legacies" on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at the Addison Village Hall Board Room at 7pm.
They are hailed as heroes, visionaries and the architects of American democracy-but who were the Founding Fathers really?
This lecture by local historian, Valerie Gugala separates fact from fiction to explore the complex lives, beliefs and contradictions of figures like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Hamilton. We will examine the myths that surround them, the truths history reveals, and the lasting legacies they left on the nation they helped create.
