Ranger of the Lost Art: The Return of WPA Posters to the Public

Come and join former seasonal National Park ranger Doug Leen as he recounts his 50 year quest through dusty attics, junk shops, stuffed garages, and courtrooms to rediscover and collect original National Park posters from a series created by the WPA from 1938 to 1941. Since starting this journey, 12 of the 14 original designs have been discovered. Eleven of these designs will be on view in the Sidney R. Yates Auditorium from 12:30pm to 2:45pm in conjunction with the talk.
