UMaine librarian John Hutchinson will join us for an entertaining presentation about Milton Bradley, the pioneering game maker who pioneered fun and educational games and later became a champion of the Kindergarten movement. He was also a master lithographer and creative entrepreneur. This talk explores his remarkable life and legacy, with plenty of visuals—including a reproduction of his first hit board game, an early edition set of his popular Author Cards, and even a working zoetrope! Whether you’re a fan of board games, history, or inventors, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for the man behind the Milton Bradley Company. And some surprises!
