Sotterley Plantation is pleased to announce the kick-off event for the 2013 Speaker Series at Sotterley, and it promises to be a stellar season!  Sotterley is proud to once again partner with The Boeing Company for a sixth season to make these presentations possible and continue as a community outreach.

On April 19 at 7 p.m., please join Mitch Yockelson of the Archival Recovery Team and Federal Special Agent Greg Tremaglio for their first-hand account of how Barry Landau and his co-conspirator Jason Savedoff violated the trust of the archival profession by posing as professional researchers in order to steal over 10,000 objects of cultural heritage.  Landau and Savedoff would visit the collections and secretly put documents in custom-sewn hidden pockets of their overcoats and jackets.  In July, 2011 the pair was finally caught while on an expedition at The Maryland Historical Society.

Due to the generous grant from The Boeing Company, we are once again able to offer our Speaker Series FREE to the public. Due to limited seating in the barn, however, advance reservations are strongly advised. Please call 301-373-2280 to make your reservation. This certainly is one presentation that you will not want to miss!
