Freedom Historical Society Presents “The Mammoth Road: New Hampshire Folk Tales as an Avenue to Local History and Culture” on Wednesday, May 20

A program made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities.

Folk tales are passed from one generation to another – often embellished by time and teller. For example: “Ethan Crawford was as tall as Mount Washington. He could carry at least seven men on his back!” Yet, when we look at folk tales, the people who compile them, and the location from which they spring, we can access history in a new and entertaining way. Join us to hear and explore folk tales collected by the New Hampshire Women’s Federation (1932) and dig into local resources in search of truths. Was it tall tale or town history?

Erin Moulton, author and genealogist is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the New Hampshire Historical Society, the New Hampshire Society of Genealogists, and serves on the committee for the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire.

The Freedom Historical Society is a non-profit organization that shares and preserves the stories of Freedom’s history. The public is invited to join us on May 20 at 7 PM to be part of an evening of shared stories, local history, and community connection. The program is free and will be presented in person at the Freedom Town Hall, 16 Elm Street. For more information or questions about the program, call (603) 491-8347.
