SUMMARY:Used Book Sale - November 20 - fill a bag for $1.00
DESCRIPTION:Historical Society of Cheshire County Reopens to the Public for Used Book Sale \n  \nBook lovers will be glad to know that the 20th annual used book sale at the Historical Society of Cheshire County is a go. Although the book sale was delayed for about six months due to the pandemic\, the Society has managed to collect 4\,500 used books\, and the popular fundraising event is scheduled for Friday\, November 6 through Friday\, November 20. \nThis year’s book sale has been modified in several ways to allow for social distancing. The Historical Society’s director Alan Rumrill said\, “Our top priority is safety. We will limit the number of customers allowed in the sale to eight people at any one time. Facemasks will be required and gloves will be provided for customers. Social distancing rules will be applied \nThe following times allow free admission\, but limited numbers of customers will be allowed in the sale at any one time. Appointments should be made by phone or email to avoid wait times: 603-352-1895 or hscc@hsccnh.org. \n  \n\nFriday Nov 6 — open 10 am to 4 pm\nSaturday Nov 7 — open 10 am to 1 pm\nNovember 10\, 12\, 13 — open 10 am to 2 pm\nNovember 17\, 18\, 19\, $5 per bag\, open 10 am to 2 pm\nFriday\, Nov 20\, $1 per bag\, open 10 am to 2 pm\n\n  \nMost books will sell for $1.00 and the proceeds will support the Historical Society’s programs to collect\, preserve\, and communicate the history of Cheshire County. Books cover topics such as history\, biography\, antiques\, art\, architecture\, cookbooks\, travel\, fiction\, and children’s books. Rumrill observed\, “Our members always drop off an eclectic selection of titles. Sometimes I wonder what they enjoy more\, cleaning their bookshelves and donating the books\, or browsing the book sale to find books to bring home.” \n  \nRumrill recalls that the idea for the Historical Society to hold a used book sale came 20 years ago from Charles Felix\, the son of Sylvia Felix who owns Eagle Books\, at 19 West Street in Keene. The Felixes continue to help with the set-up of the book sale each year. \n  \nThe book sale coincides with the reopening of the Historical Society to the public. The Historical Society’s Museum Store is offering 20% discounts for members and 10% discounts for not-yet members of the Historical Society. The Museum Store carries a variety of items with connections tom Cheshire County including the popular new books Keene Through Time with almost 200 images of Keene and the stories behind them\, and Iron Roads of the Monadnock Region with hundreds of rail stories and over 700 images\, maps\, and tables. \n  \nThe Historical Society of Cheshire County has been collecting\, preserving\, and communicating the history of the Monadnock Region for 93 years. In 2019\, the Society’s staff of five employees and about 150 volunteers put on 174 programs that served 13\,214 people\, 29% of whom were youth and teens. Although the Historical Society closed its doors to the public for several months during the COVID-19 emergency\, the staff has worked hard to deliver local history stories via the internet. The Society is excited about reopening its headquarters at 246 Main Street.

SUMMARY:The Connecticut: New England's Great River
DESCRIPTION:The Connecticut: New England’s Great River\nNovember 18\, 2020.\n7:00 pm. Via Zoom. \nThe largest river in New England rises in a small beaver pond near the Canadian border and flows over 400 miles through four states\, falling 2\,670 feet to the sea through America’s only watershed-based national fish and wildlife refuge. Adair Mulligan leads an armchair tour of this great river of New Hampshire and Vermont\, exploring its history and natural beauty through the seasons and among the communities that have sprung up along its banks. Next\, the discussion will shift to how the river has influenced the lives of those who live there\, and how they\, in turn\, have affected the river. Much more than a travelogue\, this presentation explores the many issues involved in managing the\nhealth of this major river\, and how citizens from all walks of life have created a vision for its future. \nThis event is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities. \nTo register for this Zoom presentation\,  click here

Sometimes I wonder what they enjoy more\, cleaning their bookshelves and donating the books\, or browsing the book sale to find books to bring home.” \nRumrill recalls that the idea for the Historical Society to hold a used book sale came 20 years ago from Charles Felix\, the son of Sylvia Felix who owns Eagle Books\, at 19 West Street in Keene. The Felixes continue to help with the set-up of the book sale each year. \nThe book sale coincides with the reopening of the Historical Society to the public. The Historical Society’s Museum Store is offering 20% discounts for members and 10% discounts for not-yet members of the Historical Society. The Museum Store carries a variety of items with connections tom Cheshire County including the popular new books Keene Through Time with almost 200 images of Keene and the stories behind them\, and Iron Roads of the Monadnock Region with hundreds of rail stories and over 700 images\, maps\, and tables. \nThe Historical Society of Cheshire County has been collecting\, preserving\, and communicating the history of the Monadnock Region for 93 years. In 2019\, the Society’s staff of five employees and about 150 volunteers put on 174 programs that served 13\,214 people\, 29% of whom were youth and teens. Although the Historical Society closed its doors to the public for several months during the COVID-19 emergency\, the staff has worked hard to deliver local history stories via the internet. The Society is excited about reopening its headquarters at 246 Main Street. For more information\, the Society’s website address is www.hsccnh.org.

SUMMARY:Libraries Transform Book Discussion: Book of the Little Axes
DESCRIPTION:In Trinidad\, in 1796\, teenage Rosa Rendón quietly but purposefully rebels against typical female roles and behavior. Bright\, competitive\, and opinionated\, Rosa sees no reason she should learn to cook and keep house-it is obvious her talents lie in running the farm she expects to be her birthright\, despite her two older siblings. But as her homeland goes from Spanish to British rule\, it becomes increasingly unclear whether its free black property owners-Rosa’s family among them-will be allowed to keep their assets\, their land\, and ultimately\, their freedom. \n\nBy 1830\, Rosa is living among the Crow Nation in Bighorn\, Wyoming with her husband\, Edward Rose\, and family. Her son Victor has reached the age where he should seek his vision and become a man. But his path is blocked by secrets Rosa has kept hidden from him. So Rosa sets out to take him on a journey to where his story began and\, in turn\, retraces her own roots\, those of a girl who forged her own way from the middle of the ocean to the grassy hills of a far-away land. \nThis program is co-sponsored by the Jonathan Daniels Center for Social Responsibility at the Historical Society of Cheshire County. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Sister Societies presentation by Beth Solerno
DESCRIPTION:Many 19th century women got their first taste of political activism in small-town societies advocating temperance and other moral causes. Alongside national organizations with charismatic male leaders\, these grassroots efforts by ordinary women helped to bring about social reform\, change the meaning of political action and\, in the process\, redefine gender roles. Significantly\, women moved from behind-the-scenes moral suasion into the political arena at a time when the question of slavery in the United States was developing from a humanitarian concern into a hotly contested partisan issue. Society met women’s entrance into political antislavery with mobs\, riots\, and sharp debate. \nIn Sister Societies\, Beth Salerno documents ties of kinship and friendship that drew women into the more than 200 exclusively female antislavery societies scattered across the free states. These societies were home to a surprising degree of diversity. Whether black or white\, churchgoing or come-outer\, radical or conservative\, members found temporary unity in a common cause and the bonds of womanhood. \nThough some of the antislavery societies were short-lived\, others persisted from the 1830s through the Civil War. As women’s activism evolved during these decades\, members practiced quiet forms of resistance such as sewing clothing for fugitive slaves\, embroidering antislavery slogans on linen goods\, and boycotting the products of slave labor. At the same time\, they increasingly engaged in public protest by signing petitions\, sponsoring conventions\, circulating antislavery propaganda\, and raising funds for the cause. Salerno looks closely at the ways in which members defined their work as political or moral\, as well as how the surrounding society viewed it\, to fine-tune our understanding of a critical moment in the history of women’s activism. \nSponsored by: NH Humanities\, thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities \nCost and/or registration requirements: Free \nPhone number for more information: (603) 352-1895 \n\nClick here to register\n\n

SUMMARY:Quack or fact?
DESCRIPTION:Quack or Fact? Wednesday\, September 2\, 2020 7pm \nWas there scientific basis behind “quacky” colonial cures?\nThe history of medicine is filled with stories of strange tonics\, outlandish remedies\, and curious “cures.” Toads\, snails\, mashed potatoes\, mandrake\, and bear grease were commonly prescribed. While some of these ingredients sound crazy\, there’s logic behind many of them! For instance\, snake oil hasn’t always been just a euphemism for quack medical treatments. For centuries\, oil from the Chinese water snake was an actual treatment used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve joint pain. Today\, we know that snakes are a rich source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)\, an omega-3 fatty acid containing anti-inflammatory properties. \nOn Wednesday\, September 2\, 2020 at 7pm the Historical Society of Cheshire County will host an online presentation by the Grounded Goodwives\, Ehris Urban and Velya Jancz-Urban. Register for free to catch this funny and factual exploration of colonial “quackery” on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Votes for Women: A History of Women’s Suffrage
DESCRIPTION:Votes for Women: A History of Women’s Suffrage \nWed. August 12th.  7pm. Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89817137382 \nThe campaign for women’s right to vote was a long one\, from the 1848 Women’s Rights Convention in Senaca Falls\, New York\, to the ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920.  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 women’s suffrage 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. Liz is President of the League of Women Voters in NH\, a non-partisan organization that is the direct descendent of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.   This presentation is supported by the New Hampshire Humanities\, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Historical Society of Cheshire County. \nPlease click here to reserve your spot.
