About this event
A Founding Father's Legacy: An Honorable Leader, an Antique Desk, and a Proud Local Family
Roger Sherman helped shape a nation. To Ken Sherman and his daughter, Laurie Krook, he is also family.
Join these descendants for a personal look at the shoemaker, father of fifteen, and trusted friend who became the only person to sign all four major founding documents. Discover the portable writing desk passed down with his story, its appearance on National Geographic, and the Ancestry commercial featuring Laurie and her daughter, Josie.
With deep ties to Grayslake, Ken and Laurie bring warmth, humor, and a family's perspective to the man behind the history.
