Join the Lexington History Museum and author Jessica K. Whitehead for LexTalks: Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard.
Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard is a complex portrait of a person who deserves a place alongside other iconic American thinkers and artists in the nation's broad cultural history. It offers a vivid depiction of Hubbard, the traces he left behind, and his template for sustainability in our modern ecological landscape.
