Brownstone Supper Club, West Hartford, June 24, 2026: Jeffrey Tucker

On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club – the first in the nation – is pleased to celebrate our country’s 250th birthday with a book party. The book is Spirits of America by Jeffrey Tucker, who will be with us to sign copies and do a reading. 

Butterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the Brownstone Institute. Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun, even if some people come in fancier clothing.

Jeffrey Tucker is founder and president of Brownstone, senior economics columnist at Epoch Times, and author of 19 books. Spirits of America is probably the best seller among them, and the one most personally reflective and searching. It seeks to discern and discuss the particular traits of the American character that built a young nation into a model for the world. 

The book began as a reflection on the provocative written half a century ago by Eric Sloane, a sometimes dark elucidation of American virtues that were threatened with extinction. Tucker’s book is an update with a brighter spirit about the prospects for a post-lockdown nation. Since its release, it has garnered wide praise for its honesty in grappling with the cultural and political challenges of our time. 

Free copies will be available to all. Bring friends so that we can make this birthday and book party a very special occasion.
