Dr. Seuss’s Birthday, Read Across America Day, and the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 will be celebrated in one fell swoop when the Historical Society of Talbot County hosts children’s author Rebecca C. Jones on Saturday, March 3 at 11am.
Ms. Jones, who’s written 16 books for young readers, will tell the story of the 200-pound flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the War of 1812. The Biggest (and Best) Flag That Ever Flew, along with her most recent book, Captain John Smith’s Big and Beautiful Bay, will be available for purchase at the Historical Society Museum Store.
