Tennessee State Museum Talk: Who is James K. Polk?

This event is located in Nashville, but since it’s about Columbia’s most famous former resident, we thought you’d like to know about it!

A new season of the Tennessee State Museum’s series, “TN Writers | TN Stories: Author Talks at the State Museum,” kicks off this Saturday, March 16 at 10:30 a.m. with Dr. Mark Cheathem discussing his new book, Who Is James K. Polk? The Presidential Election of 1844. Dr. Cheathem will be in conversation with Richard White, the Tennessee State Museum director of collections.

The event is free and open to the public, and will be held at the Tennessee State Museum, 1000 Rosa L. Parks Blvd., Nashville, TN 37243. Doors open at 10 a.m. Complimentary coffee will be served.
