Attendees of an upcoming event will be turning their attention to outer space.
“Epic Rivalry” Co-Author Gene Eisman, and Chris Sturdevant, who wrote “Cold War Wisconsin,” will discuss different aspects of the Cold War on March 3.
The Cold War Museum and Old Bust Head Brewing Company in Warrenton are hosting the event, which begins at 1 p.m. at the brewery.
Eisman will focus on what is referred to as the “Space Race,” which the United States and the Soviet Union participated in.
