The Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville is beginning its Summer Entertainment Series with a celebration of iconic American author Mark Twain.

Historian Jim Dunham will be performing as Twain in a hilarious lecture based on the speeches of the humorist. Dunham will also discuss Twain’s real-life Western adventures and their influence on his work.

Dinner is included in the ticket price.

The performance begins at 7 a.m. at the Booth Western Art Museum, 501 Museum Drive in Cartersville.

Tickets are $25 for Booth members and $30 for non members.

To purchase tickets, call 770-387-1300.

An exhibit of 100 paintings is on display at the Booth Western Art Museum. The exhibit, “American Legacy: Our National Parks,” is a collection of paintings by the Plein-Air Painters of America, a group of painters organized around the belief that the best way to capture the beauty of nature is to go out and experience it.

The temporary exhibit, organized by the Haggin Museum in California, showcases the favorite national parks of 38 of the Plein-Air Painters of America’s members and guests.

The exhibit features images of such parks as Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon.

“American Legacy: Our National Parks” is on display at the Booth Western Art Museum through Aug. 26.
