New Hampshire can tell you a story or two!
Folk tales are passed from one generation to another, embellished by time and teller: “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 compiled 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?

Free and open to the public.
Light refreshments served.
This program is part of our Spring at the Farmstead schedule.

PRESENTER: Erin E. Moulton writes books and tracks dead people. As a researcher, slipping into old records and exploring past lives is something she has done for herself and for others for over fourteen years. Erin is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the New Hampshire Historical Society, the New Hampshire Society of Genealogists, and serves on the landmark committee for the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire. She has written several books, mostly for children.
