The National Treasure the Real History Behind the Movie

Join BCHS and McCloskey Wonder Works for a family-friendly night of history and fun! Kids are especially encouraged to attend (must be accompanied by an adult). Hear from Donna Garland, former National Archives Director of Communications, about the history of the National Archives, learn how Butler County’s Mosler Safe Company protected our nation’s founding documents from 1952–2003, and enjoy the action-packed film National Treasure. Free drinks and popcorn will be provided. This 250th Celebration is made possible by the Colligan Foundation.
