Rebecca Rule Returns To Gilmanton Historical Society

 

 

Story-teller Rebecca Rule comes to Gilmanton Historical Society, May 26th, Old Town Hall, Gilmanton Iron Works, 7:30 pm.


Famed New Hampshire story-teller Rebecca Rule opens the summer season for the Gilmanton Historical Society on Tuesday, May 26, 7:30 pm at the Old Town Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works.


With her inimitable style of New Hampshire humor, Rebecca Rule tells stories that speak to us of community. They hold our history and reflect our identity. For more than ten years, she has collected stories of New Hampshire, especially those that reflect what’s special about this rocky old place. She’ll tell some of them — her favorites are the funny ones — and invite audience members to contribute a few of their own.

 
The summer program series continues at the Gilmanton Academy in Gilmanton Corner on June 23rd with Dressing A Colonial Lady.   Mary Spencer will dress, layer upon layer, in an authentic reproduction of a 1770s gown, complete with “stays,” stomacher, petticoat and a “bumroll.”


July 28th brings a program on Gilmanton 1900 to 1920 drawn from  newspaper reports of the time. Readings from the newspaper articles are illustrated with photos of the period.  7:30 pm at Old Town Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works.


Steve Taylor, former NH Commissioner of Agriculture, tells us how sheep raising in the mid 19th century changed the New Hampshire landscape, with a talk on The Great New Hampshire Sheep Boom on August 25th at the Gilmanton Academy Building.


The final program in the series, on September 22nd at the Old Town Hall, is Before Peyton Place: In Search of the Real Grace Metalious. Robert Perreault introduces us to the young Grace De Repentigny Metalious, revealing a side of the author that has remained largely unknown to the general public.


All programs are free and open to the public; donations are gratefully accepted.   Refreshments and social hour begin at 7 pm, with the program beginning promptly at 7:30.
