Much of the history of cryptography is concealed. By virtue of their adherence to secrecy oaths, a desire to avoid the spotlight, and having their accomplishments stolen by others, the history of women in cryptography is still being told. In this presentation, Keith Nabozny will reveal some of the fascinating stories of women who cracked the code! This is a free program at the Alexander Blue House. No registration required.

Get a feel for the camping life with our monthly S'mores and Stories program at Newburg School Field!

This program is best for children ages 5-12 and all children must be accompanied by an adult (parents do not need to register). Advance registration required for $5 per child resident at LivoniaParks.org.
