SUMMARY:Truths in Our Time: Peter K. Andersson on Dandyism at The Mark Twain House & Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Mark Twain House & Museum will host historian and author Peter K. Andersson as part of its Truths in Our Time series on Thursday\, September 18\, 2025\, from 12 pm to 1 pm.

The program will include vivid historical storytelling\, a Q&A session\, and a pop-up gallery of period-inspired accessories. Books will be available for purchase on-site and online. \nThis event is part of the museum’s Truths in Our Time series\, which continues Twain’s legacy of sparking critical dialogue on literature\, history\, and social change. The discussion will be moderated by Omar Acevedo\, Literary Programs Coordinator at The Mark Twain House & Museum. \nRegistration is required. For details and to register\, visit marktwainhouse.org.
