Join us for a special edition of History on Tap featuring The Basque People of France and Spain on Thursday, June 11 — 6:30 PM. Join George Boerger and his family for an illustrated, family‑led presentation exploring the language, customs, and independent spirit of the Basque people who live along the Atlantic coast and into the Pyrenees between France and Spain. Free and open to the public.

🎙️ Featured Speaker(s): The Boerger Family

About the presenters George Boerger is a fourth‑generation Texan and lifelong student of history who has traveled widely across Texas, the United States, and Europe to study regional cultures and historical sites. His interest in Basque Country grew from those travels and from family connections to France. Amelie Boerger (daughter) is the presentation’s co‑presenter and technical lead; she helped assemble the slides and will share the stage with her father. Mrs. Boerger (wife) is from France and has studied Tourism and Art History, bringing additional cultural perspective to the family’s research and images. This program is presented as a family collaboration that blends travel‑collected photographs, local observations, and contextual research to offer an accessible, personal look at Basque history and culture.
