The Preservation Society of Newport County will offer a series of six Zoom lectures on The Gilded Age Years: Transforming America, beginning April 13 at 6 pm. The series will also be presented live at The Breakers. The series of 6 online talks is available as a bundle for $50.

This series will be unlike anything the Preservation Society has ever offered: A truly comprehensive look at the period that gave shape to modern America. It starts with “The Gilded Age: Past and Present,” where Dr. Michael Patrick Cullinane of Dickinson State University, an award-winning author and the host of the popular podcast “The Gilded Age and Progressive Era,” will address the question: Are we living in a second Gilded Age?

Each program will be given in the Great Hall of The Breakers, a space that epitomizes the Gilded Age. See www.newportmansions.org/events for the full schedule.

There are plenty of other ticket options available: In-person tickets for each individual program at regular or member price; Zoom registration for all six at a discounted price; and Zoom registration for each single program.
