America's 250th Lecture Series at Lawshe

As part of the upcoming Semiquincentennial (250th) anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Dakota County Historical Society is offering a 14-part presentation series that can be taken as a whole, or individual sections. Each program is designed to explore a different aspect of our government to show why, and how, it was set up that way and its impact on today. This series is presented by educator and historian, Frank Sachs.

January 15, 2026 - The Federalist Papers: Road to Ratification and How These Papers Helped Define the Constitution
What they were and how our government was to work according to the founders. Much is known and discussed about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, but why are the Federalist Papers often neglected, or treated as an afterthought? After all, it was these papers and their three authors who sold the new government to the people and explained how it was to work, yet they go largely ignored.

Fees/RSVP: $10 per person, $5 for DCHS members, less with package deal!
