Presidential Series with Heather Rodgers - James K. Polk (Online)

Friday, November 13, 2026 10:30—11:30 AM Online Welcome to our yearlong series in which “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler”, Heather Rogers, shares facts, factoids, and fun illustrations about the presidents of these United States. We'll start off at the beginning with George Washington and get right through to Zachary Taylor! This month, we learn about James K. Polk: Don’t let the haircut fool you – this guy was all business. He was so likely to go unnoticed that his wife requested that “Hail to the Chief” be played whenever he entered an event. For more information on the series, click here. This will be a monthly series meeting on the 2nd Friday each month.  Please register for the Zoom link here! About Heather: Heather Rogers isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler” by one of her favorite biographers and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator.
