HSCC April Program: Living History Presentation of Susan B. Anthony


Susan B. Anthony - the Invincible!

On Monday, April 27, at 7:00 p.m., there will be a special public program entitled Susan B. Anthony - the Invincible! at the April meeting of the Historical Society of Cheshire County. After a brief membership meeting, Sally Matson will portray Susan B. Anthony in a living history performance that reveals, decade by decade, the social developments during Anthony's life (1820-1906). As Anthony, she will recount her journeys across the country as she establishes a network of lieutenants working for women's suffrage and her involvement in the fight for women's rights in factories, schools, colleges, courtroom and voting booths. The program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council and the Connecticut River Bank. It is free and open to the public.

Sally Matson is an experienced Chautauquan who has acted and directed for 30 years. She has a degree in communications from Northwestern University and completed graduate work in creative writing at Manhattanville College and the University of Virginia. She taught most recently at the American Textile History Museum in Lowell.

The Historical Society of Cheshire County, located at 246 Main Street in Keene, is open to the public on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
