Coming October 2026
Get ready to journey through the heart of America aboard a classic paddlewheeler.
Dr. Ken will be cruising the mighty Mississippi from St. Louis, Missouri, to St. Paul, Minnesota, aboard the American Heritage — exploring river towns, history, music, and landscapes that shaped our nation.
This brand-new presentation will feature:
– The river that helped build America
– Steamboats, commerce, and cultural crossroads
– St. Louis, Mark Twain country, and the bluffs of the Upper Mississippi
– Stories of the people who lived, worked, and dreamed along the river
– Beautiful photos and experiences collected during our September 2026 voyage
