Martha Washington, portrayed by Anne Barrett of Massachusetts, will appear at Coventry Public Library on Wednesday, May 15 at 7 pm.

    Anne Barrett presents Martha Washington, her early life, triumphs and tragedies, determined spirit, and undying devotion to the father of our country. She’ll discuss her annual pilgrimages to revolutionary winter encampments, her care of the soldiers that earned her the fond name “lady Washington,” and she’ll sing battlefield songs she heard there. Learn about her recent experience in defining the role of first lady, and even how she feels about Mr. Jefferson!. Spend an hour with the mother of our nation.

    This program is free to all.  Call Jane at 822-9104 or email js@coventrylibrary.org to register.
