This is the story of The Unlikely Union of our American States, performed by Professor Greg Jackson, creator of the chart-topping podcast History That Doesn’t Suck!, and accompanied live by the Westmoreland Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Meyer. The United States turns 250 in 2026— remarkably, because it nearly died a thousand deaths in just its first 100. Skip the classroom and step into a memorable night of history-telling, music and multimedia!

Doors Open Early! Join us at 6:30 pm for Prelude to the Union: A Cultural Showcase of the Laurel Highlands to learn more about our museums, historical sites, and cultural groups.
