    The Life and Magic of Harry Houdini

    The Life & Magic of Harry Houdini presented by Historian and Curator of the Mark Twain House, Mallory Howard on Monday June 26th at 1pm.

He was a star of the stage and screen, and one of the most entertaining performers in the world, yet most people are not as familiar with his private life and the stories behind his astonishing magic. Whether he was debunking spiritualists, battling from inside of a sea monster, or attempting to make it as an aviator, his story is anything but dull!

This program explores the benefits of transitioning our gardens, and yards, into sustainable landscapes that collectively can make a significant environmental difference. Learn about what “native” is, why that matters, and how to attract and sustain wildlife, while also managing your landscape to reduce water, fertilizer, and chemical use, which benefits our backyards and Long Island Sound.
