Join us for a conversation with our Curatorial Director, John Leysath on the fascinating connections between the Hammond family and the highest echelons of American politics. This engaging presentation will explore the close friendship between John Hays Hammond Sr.—a fabulously wealthy mining magnate, a former Gloucester resident, and the father of our Museum’s founder—and President William Howard Taft.
 
Discover how their relationship shaped political discourse during the early 20th century, including Hammond Sr.'s brief 1908 vice presidency campaign. Dive into the era’s political landscape as we examine Taft’s presidency, Hammond Sr.'s political ideologies, and their lasting impact. This discussion will provide a unique lens on history and evaluate its relevance to the present day.
