Alan’s talk is titled: “Mountain as Muse: The Artists who Painted Mt. Monadnock.” \n  \nFor almost 200 years artists have focused on the landscape of the mountain as a subject for their canvases.  For these artists Monadnock has been a source of inspiration for their art. The program will review the art of many painters and the history of their lives and work in the region.  It will also investigate what their art tells us about the mountain\, the region and the artists themselves.  The different styles of painting employed by these people and what those styles tell us about the American view of nature over time will be explored.  The program will also explore the impact of these landscapists on tourism\, land conservation and the way the Monadnock Region is viewed today. \nAlan Rumrill is a native of Stoddard where his family has lived since 1770.  He has been executive director of the Historical Society of Cheshire County for 39 years.  Alan has written nine books\, dozens of articles\, and presented more than 1000 programs on the history of southwest New Hampshire. \n  \nThe program will be available as an in-person event at the Jaffrey Civic Center in the Auditorium Gallery as well as via Zoom. Pre-registration is required\, and for this event\, the center is requiring proof of COVID19 vaccination. Masks will also be required. These programs are free of charge\, but to help support this event and others like it\, donations are appreciated.

Powers: the Woman Who Dares DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to the premiere of the documentary\, Jennie B. Powers: The Woman Who Dares\, on Sunday\, March 13\, 2022\, at 4pm at the Colonial Theatre’s Showroom. SALT Project president Elizabeth Myer Boulton and Historical Society director of education Jennifer Carroll will speak following the film. \nThe story of Jennie B. Powers and the work of humane societies in the early 20th century will now be the subject of a short documentary\, set to be released March 13\, 2022.  Keene’s Emmy-award winning production company\, SALT Project\, is collaborating with the Historical Society of Cheshire County to transform Jenna Carroll’s NH Humanities-to-Go program The Woman Who Dares into a short film.  Historical Society archival materials and photographs\, along with shadow puppets designed by Stringpullers Puppet Company of New York\, combine to bring Powers’ story to life. \nJenna Carroll\, Education Director of the Historical Society of Cheshire County said\, “I initially stumbled upon Jennie Powers and the Keene Humane Society while doing research for a local high school teacher in 2017.  The collection is archived at the Historical Society of Cheshire County and a large portion of her documents and photographs are restricted from public use. Of course\, that intrigued me and I began to study Jennie’s story in my free time.  That research led to public presentations and resource packets for students.  I see her story connecting with students and adults alike because it’s so relatable to today.  Jennie B. Powers represents an alternative view of the past\, one that isn’t always so pretty and demure.  It’s important for me to help people make connections to history in all of its complexity.  I’ve always tried to do that with my own daughters\, sharing stories of both national and local empowered women in the hopes that it will inspire them.” \n“Before the pandemic\, I had the opportunity to hear Jenna Carroll speak to a standing room only crowd at the Historical Society of Cheshire County about the amazing life and work of Jennie B. Powers\,” said Elizabeth Myer\, President and Creative Director at SALT Project\, a non-profit production company based in Keene\, NH. “What an amazing story: this progressive-era\, gun-slinging\, justice-seeking woman who was simultaneously hard-as-nails and tender-hearted as she worked tirelessly to protect the most vulnerable. I knew we had to make a film about her! So\, we gathered together a crackerjack crew – including a puppeteer originally from Brattleboro\, VT\, who specializes in turn-of-the-century\, multiplane silhouette animation; an amazing local gaffer and proud Keene State alum; and a rambunctious crew of rescued animals over at Amazing Grace Animal Sanctuary in Gilsum\, NH. Carroll’s brilliant storytelling and Powers’ courage in the face of adversity make this an inspiring story for all ages. I hope the film will be shared far and wide – Powers is an American treasure.” \nThis production was made possible thanks to the support of New Hampshire Humanities\, the Putnam Foundation\, the Kingsbury Fund\, and Arts Alive.

Both free African Americans and those that were enslaved were key in manning state militias and Continental Army units\, as well as serving on the high seas in the Navy and on privately armed ships. Indeed\, their service to the colonies was crucial in a conflict that lasted nearly seven years. Prohibited from serving in military units and largely considered “undesirable elements\,” how is it that these African-American soldiers came to fight for the cause of liberty\, even when their own personal liberty was not guaranteed? Glenn Knoblock examines the history of African-American soldiers’ service during the war\, including how and why they enlisted\, their interaction with white soldiers\, service on the battlefields\, how they were perceived by the enemy and the officers under whom they served\, and their treatment after the war. \n\n\n\nOnline event registration is required click here\n\n\n\nGlenn Knoblock is an independent scholar and author of fifteen books and over 100 articles. He is also the author and historian on projects relating to Northern New England bridges\, New Hampshire cemeteries\, and brewing history\, and African-American military history. Knoblock has served as the main military contributor to Harvard and Oxford University’s landmark African-American Biography Project. He holds a BA in History from Bowling Green State University. \n\nContact  Glenn A.
