Over the past few months, the Historical Society of Plainfield/Drake House Museum had to pivot due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Museum has been closed since mid-March and on site programs postponed until further notice.
However, special programs have resumed in partnership with the Plainfield Public Library Local History Department via Zoom and other internet capable meeting platforms. These virtual programs have been successful, and plans are in the works to continue these virtual programs for the future.

The Electoral College System of Electing a U.S. President
Saturday, January 9, 2021
10:30 am via Zoom
Presented by Lawrence Bashe
Co-hosted by Plainfield Public Library with the Historical Society of Plainfield I Drake House Museum
The Electoral College system of electing a President in our country is unusual, confusing, and some say, undemocratic.
How did the Founding Fathers come up with the process and why? How is it affecting the modern election of Presidents? Can or should we try to change it and how could it be changed?
We will discuss specific elections in which the Electoral College system had a dramatic effect on the results.
This is a FREE program. REGISTER HERE:https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MQOO96mGQQWkpR5TBVzkSg
