Historical Speaker Series: Emblems That Moved Us

Every emblem tells a story—of craftsmanship, culture, and the drive to lead.

We’re opening our Fall 2025 Historical Speaker Series with a topic rooted in design, innovation, and identity. Join us on Sunday, September 7 as historian and emblem collector Todd Carlson explores the artistry and meaning behind the symbols that once led the way.

From hood ornaments to radiator badges, these iconic designs offer a glimpse into the past—and the people who built it.
