History Happy Hour: Downstairs at the White House with Don Stinson

National Archives at Kansas City
Kansas City, MO

Friday, May 4, 2018 - 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. CDT

Downstairs at the White House with Don Stinson

At the age of 17, Don Stinson accidentally landed a job in the White House during Watergate, the largest political scandal in American history. A self-professed insignificant member of the Nixon White House staff, he frequently loitered outside of the Oval Office to watch Watergate unfold. What he saw throughout the White House ran the gamut from the deeply profound to the wildly hilarious. His stories are richly decorated with presidents, first ladies, celebrities … and events that shook America. Come laugh with Don Stinson as he shares some of his observations from his “ringside seat to Watergate.” Reservations are required. Offered in partnership with the Happy Hour, Inc. and the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum. Admission is free for members, paid for non-members; space is limited.
