Russia's Peter the Great
by Maureen Esther, HistoryTeller
Thursday, May 16, 2024 4:00-5:30pm Benzonia Public Library 891 Michigan Ave, Benzonia Link to Google map > “I am a student and I seek teachers.” Peter Alekseevich Romanov received a limited education, yet spent his life pursuing knowledge. The Founder of Modern Russia, this Tsar (at age 10) and later Emperor, was a powerhouse of energy. Dragging his people into the European world, he would “open a window on the west” by building St. Petersburg. Come meet Peter the Great, a giant in Russian history! Enhanced by my trip to St. Petersburg, Russia in 2001. Maureen, a HistoryTeller for 30 years, enjoys bringing her love of Art and History to the Benzonia Public Library. Information: 231-882-4111 |
