Special Events at the Cato Vernon Freedom Library
Throughout the seven-week residency of the Cato Vernon Freedom Library at the Vernon House, we will host a wide variety of free talks, performances, readings, workshops, and more that relate to Cato Vernon’s story and surrounding themes. These offerings are designed by the artists, researchers, and community members who give them. We will continue to update the calendar as the events are confirmed.
