The Silk Road: Exotic Trade Route Through History
Saturday, July 22
10:30 - 11:30 A.M. Donation: $6
The historic Silk Road linked Europe and the Middle East with Central Asia and China. As we travel, by digital presentation, along that famed ancient trade route, we will see caravans loaded with valuable trade goods such as silk, spices, gold, silver, and gems along with paper and gunpowder. Languages and cultures were exchanged and religions were spread. We will look at how the Silk Road’s trade and cultural exchange influence history before the time when we connected by transoceanic sea voyages. Light refreshments will be served. Presented by historian, Sara Drower. Registration required
