Dr. Carey Watt will deliver the History Department's public lecture on Thursday, October 4 at 7:15 pm in Brian Mulroney Hall 101.

Watt's talk is titled "The Strongman and the Apple: a local and global history of the Sandow apple and Sandow Farm in Keswick Ridge, N.B. since 1886" and will explore questions like could the Sandow apple grown at Sandow Farm in Keswick Ridge, N.B. have a bigger national and global backstory? How did the apple get its name? Could it be connected to the world-famous strongman Eugen Sandow (1867-1925)? If so, why?

This public lecture will attempt to put the Sandow apple in broader Canadian and world historical context.

Organic Sandow apples will be available to sample, courtesy of Phil and Marieka Chaplin of Sandow Farm.
