Community & Professional Education Open House | First Wednesday of each month at 5:30 PM

More than five centuries ago, Marco Polo’s adventures sparked the imagination of Christopher Columbus to the point where he used the printed tale to aid his own maritime quest. Printed traveler accounts have served as guidebooks, entertainment, and rationales for exploration and conquest, and as rich sources for understanding the past. We will travel back in time to China, North Africa, India, Brazil, and Spanish America with writer-explorers and analyze their accounts in the context of the times.
