HOW CORN CHANGED ITSELF
AND THEN CHANGED EVERYTHING ELSE
IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL Thursday, August 11 ● 7:00-8:00 p.m.
About 10,000 years ago, a weedy grass growing in Mexico was transformed into
a larger and more useful grass — the cereal grass that we would come to know
as maize and then corn.
Nurtured by Native Americans, this grain would transform the Americas even
before First Contact. After First Contact, it spanned the globe, but it also drove
westward expansion in North America, building cities and inspiring innovators
and entrepreneurs.
However, vampires, whiskey, Henry Ford, time zones, Fritos, and the Chicago
Bears are also part of this remarkable story. As Margaret Visser noted
in her classic work Much Depends on Dinner, “Without corn,
North America — and most particularly modern,
technological North America — is inconceivable.”
Come learn how and why corn transformed the
Heartland and helped create today's world.
