History Happy Hour with Don Stinson “Downstairs at the White House”

Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum
Independence, MO

Friday, May 4, 2018 - 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. CDT

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 it 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.” This event is offered in partnership with Happy Hour, an upscale wine, beer, spirits, cigars and gifts store in Independence. The National Archives of Kansas City will also be providing an interesting and educational takeaway for our guests. Admission is free for members, price of museum admission for non-members.
