“Nansen, Lunn, and Schneider: The Makers of Modern Skiing” @ McMenamins
October 25, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
FreeOld St. Francis History Pub
Presented by Dr. E. John Allen, Historian and Board Member, New England Ski Museum
Join this preeminent ski historian for a discussion of the foundation of modern skiing.
These monthly, free events are open to everyone interested in Oregon and Pacific Northwest history. Co-sponsored by like-minded historical and civic organizations, we bring you experts, scholars, first-person experiencers and historians who expound on topics from Lewis and Clark to shipwrecks, hop growing to women pioneers and far, far beyond. It’s like being back in the classroom – except this time you get to settle into comfortable seats and enjoy a drink or two with dinner while you listen and learn.
