Art museum hosting free night with lecture from Braund
The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art is having a free night every third Thursday of each month. This free event features a special program, followed by a reception, admittance to the museum galleries and a free wine tasting. The next free night is Thursday, Oct. 16, starting at 5 p.m. The featured program is a lecture by Auburn history professor Kathryn Braund, who will be presenting "Leading Men: The 1826 Treaty Delegates," which is in conjunction with museum's current exhibition, "The Indian Gallery of Henry Inman." Braund's research focuses on the ethnohistory of the Creek and Seminole Indians during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. She has written several books on the subject and is currently authoring a book about the Creek War of 1813-1814. For more information, contact the museum 844-1484.
