📚 Join us on Wednesday, June 17, at 6 p.m. for our latest Not Strictly History event featuring author Benjamin Hale as he presents his gripping new book, Cave Mountain. The story unravels beginning with the 2001 disappearance of Hale’s cousin, whose mysterious recovery echoes regional history involving a 1970s cult and a teenage prophet. Hale, a senior editor at Conjunctions who teaches at Bard College and Columbia University, intertwines his own family history with regional lore to explore the thin line between faith and skepticism. 📍 Where: Attend in person at the museum or stream it live online! 🎟️ Cost: Free, but registration is required for virtual viewing.
