Stephen Spignesi is returning to the Southbury Library to present unusual-but-true facts about America’s presidents. Did you know that George Washington only had one tooth left when he was inaugurated, even though he had his horses’ teeth brushed daily? Or that Abraham Lincoln owned a saloon before becoming president? Join us to learn more interesting tidbits like these about Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and more!
