The meeting will take place at 2 p.m. Sept. 10 in 102 Goodyear Hall, South Campus. It is open to all members of the UB community.

In her talk, Brown will talk about the exhibit, “By Fire & Sword: War in the Niagara Theatre, 1812-1814,” which examines the two-year military campaign and the hardships of a war fought on the Niagara Frontier, including the burning of Buffalo in December 1813.
