Empty-nesters Audrey and Frank Peterman set out to 'discover America' and were transformed by the beauty, history and culture preserved in our National Parks.

Join us for a talk with these authors and conservation pioneers, reflecting on two decades of travel and activism in America's publicly-owned lands!

In this lively, illustrated lecture, the authors will share highlights from their two books, Legacy on the Land and Our True Nature, and discuss challenges and success stories in engaging people of color as visitors and advocates for public lands and history, from Alaska to Florida.

The Petermans will reflect on a few of many Boston stories - from Crispus Attucks to African American poet Phillis Wheatley - that evoke the voices and invite the participation of our diverse communities.

Book sales and signing will follow the lecture.

This program is made possible with funding from Boston National Historical Park and the Lowell Institute.
