The Tenth Annual Gunston Hall Liberty Lecture Series will examine "America:
A Nation of Immigrants." From before the time of colonist George Mason to
now, foreigners have poured through the nation's portals. This year's series
will consider these diverse peoples and the level of their incorporation
into American society.

All lectures will be on Sunday afternoons in March at 3:00pm in the Ann
Mason Room at the Visitor's Center. Light refreshments will be served from
2:30 to 3:00. Lecture participants are invited to tour George Mason's home
prior to or following the program. Thirty-minutes tours begin on the hour
and half-hour.
