Join the Friends of Madison Library on Tuesday, November 10th at 7 pm for a NH Humanities Council program, “Our National Thanksgiving,” presented by performers Steve and Sharon Wood. Reenacting Sarah Josepha Hale’s decades-long quest to make Thanksgiving a national holiday, the Woods, in period costume, take on the roles of President Lincoln and pioneer woman publisher Hale to tell this story from the 19th century that has affected the way we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday to this day.
The program will take place in the library’s Chick Room. The Friends of Madison Library will serve homemade cookies and cider for refreshments after the program.
