- Webinar: The Draytons vs. The Griswolds: A Summer Vacation ◊ September 14

In July of 1806, at the age of 63, Dr Charles Drayton loaded up the family truckster for a tour of the northeast with stops in Baltimore, Washington, New York, Philadelphia, and other many other locales. Along the way, the family encountered friends, family, celebrities, and a number of popular culture icons and attractions in a manner similar to the Griswold family as portrayed in National Lampoon’s American Vacation. Join Dr. Carter C. Hudgins on September 14 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm as he explores the travels of the Drayton family alongside the adventures of the Griswolds.
