Kittanning Public Library “The Crime of the 20th Century”

It’s the “Crime of the 20th Century” at the Kittanning Public Library on Wednesday, November 27th at 5pm.  Join local historian Megan Adams for a captivating exploration into the life of Pittsburgh-area native Evelyn Nesbit, the iconic beauty and tragic figure of early 20th-century America.  Megan will delve into Nesbit’s fascinating journey from a celebrated model and actress to the central figure in the first “trial of the century” that shocked the nation.  Discover how her tumultuous life intertwined with the glamorous and gritty sides of Gilded Age society, and how her story reflects the broader themes of fame, power, and justice.  Whether you’re a history enthusiast or new to Nesbit’s world, this discussion will provide fresh insights into one of history’s most compelling figures.  For more information, call 724-543-1383.
