Join us for a fascinating discussion with local author Thomas Harrison as he presents his newly released book:Searching For Richard Nixon: Finding Refuge and Making a Home in Prince Edward County

In this genre-blending memoir and historical investigation, Harrison uncovers a long-forgotten episode that connects one of America’s most controversial presidents with rural Ontario. The book weaves together politics, personal narrative, and deep local history—all from the perspective of a teacher, farmer, lawyer, and artist who calls the County home.
