August 19 – Votes for Women: A History of the Suffrage Movement
Presented by Liz Tentarelli
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment granting women the right to vote. Who were the key players in New Hampshire and the nation? What issues and obstacles did they face? How did suffragists benefit from World War I in the final push for passage of the amendment? Who was left out when women got the right to vote? Using historic photos and documents, Liz Tentarelli will guide us on the journey.
September 16 – Digging Into Native History in New Hampshire
Presented by Robert Goodby
Abenaki history has been reduced to near invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go “underground” to avoid discrimination and persecution. Archaeological evidence, however, shows their deep presence here in the Lakes Region and Mount Washington Valley.
October 21 – Remarkable People of Freedom
Presented by Roberta MacCarthy and Anne Gaudette
A review of the 12 former residents chosen for the 2021 edition of the Freedom Historical Society’s Calendar.
