- **Event Name**: An Evening with Author Kris Schaale on her new book Summer of Meteors
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us at the Fort Bedford Museum for a special presentation with author Kris Schaale, celebrating the release of her new historical novel, Summer of Meteors.

In this engaging talk, Schaale explores the world behind her book, focusing on President James Buchanan and his remarkable niece and White House hostess, Harriet Lane. Drawing on vivid historical detail, she brings to life their visits to the Bedford Springs Resort, a place Buchanan favored so much that it became known as his “Summer White House.”

Guests will learn about the political and personal dynamics of the era, the unique bond between Buchanan and Harriet Lane, and the important role the Bedford Springs community played during this pivotal moment in American history. Schaale will share the research and inspiration that shaped her novel, along with stories that illuminate how this peaceful mountain retreat became a backdrop to national decision-making during the turbulent pre–Civil War years.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a fan of historical fiction, or simply curious about Bedford’s presidential connections, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
