SUMMARY:Jennie Powers: The Woman Who Dares
DESCRIPTION:Jennie Powers: The Woman Who Dares\nWednesday\, January 22\n6:30 pm\nHistorical Society of Cheshire County\nExhibit Hall.\nJennie Powers was a Progressive Era woman who stood up against social vices in New Hampshire and Vermont in the early 20th century. She was a humane society agent in Keene\, NH\, from 1903-1936\, and one of the first humane society agents to become a deputy sheriff in New Hampshire. Jennie was known across the country as The Woman Who Dares\, cited by the Boston Post newspaper as having arrested more men than any other woman in America in 1906. As a photographic activist\, she used her camera to document animal cruelty\, family violence\, and wide-spread poverty in New Hampshire’s Monadnock region and beyond. This one-hour slide presentation introduces attendees to Jennie’s life story\, the work of humane societies at the turn of the 20th century\, and the Progressive Era (1890s-1920s) from a local perspective.\nThis program is the first of the Celebrating Empowered Women in Cheshire County series of programs.

SUMMARY:“Jennie Powers: The Woman Who Dares” by Jennifer Carroll
DESCRIPTION:Talk to focus on the ‘Woman Who Dares’\nThe Marlborough Historical Society will meet Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. in the Marlborough Community Center at 160 Main St. for a presentation on “Jennie Powers: The Woman Who Dares” by Jennifer Carroll\, education director at the Historical Society of Cheshire County\nIn the early 20th century\, Jennie Powers took a stand against social vices in New Hampshire and Vermont. She was a humane society agent in Keene from 1903 to 1936 and was one of the first agents to become a deputy sheriff in New Hampshire. Known across the country as “The Woman Who Dares\,” Powers was cited in 1906 by the Boston Post newspaper as having arrested more men than any other woman in America. She used her camera to document animal cruelty\, family violence and widespread poverty in New Hampshire’s Monadnock Region and beyond.\nFor over 20 years Jennifer Carroll has managed New England historical societies and museums. She holds a Master of Arts degree in historical administration from Eastern Illinois University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and women’s studies from the University of New Hampshire. At the Historical Society of Cheshire County she coordinates over 150 public programs per year.\nCarroll’s illustrated presentation will present Powers’ life story as well as the work of humane societies at the turn of the 20th century and the politics of the Progressive Era (1890s-1920s) from a local perspective.\nThis program is supported by a grant from N.H. Humanities. The public is invited. Refreshments will be served after the presentation

SUMMARY:Candlelight Open House at the Wyman Tavern Museum
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 4\, 2019.  6:30 pm-8:30pm.  Wyman Tavern & Horatio Colony House Museum\, Main St. \nAnnual Candlelight Open House on Main Street \nJourney back into the 18th and 19th centuries on Friday\, October 4th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Two of Keene’s historic Main Street homes\, the Wyman Tavern and Horatio Colony House Museum\, will hold candlelight open houses from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. This great family event offers an opportunity to view the warmth and charm of these two Keene landmarks as they were before electricity – lit only with candles. The Wyman Tavern at 339 Main Street was built in 1762 and used as a tavern by the Wyman family for more than 40 years.  With reenactors stationed in each room\, visitors to the Tavern can play Colonial games of chance\, meet Abner Sanger\, and tour the house. \nThe Horatio Colony House Museum at 199 Main Street is a Federal style home built in 1806 by Abel Blake\, son of one of Keene’s first settlers.  In the late 19th century\, it became the home of a branch of the Colony family connected with the Faulkner Colony Woolen Mill on West Street and the Cheshire Mill in Harrisville. Horatio Colony II was the last of the family to live in the house which is filled with original family furnishings and collections from around the world\, spanning the 18th through late 19th century. The home is completely intact\, reflecting three generations of the family living for 130 years. \nThese collaborative candlelight open houses are free and open to the public. Separated by about two blocks\, both museums are within walking distance of each other.  For further information about the Wyman Tavern\, contact the Historical Society at 352-1895 or view its website at www.hsccnh.org. For information about the Horatio Colony House Museum call at 352-0460 or visit its website at www.horatiocolonymuseum.org.

SUMMARY:This History of Gym Class
DESCRIPTION:The History of Gym Class \n Wednesday\, September 25rd\, 2019.  7:00 pm.  Free.  \nKeene Family YMCA \n200 Summit Road\, Keene. \n  \nRebecca Noel explores the sometimes alarming\, sometimes hilarious backstory of what we now know as gym class. Physicians have worried since the Renaissance that the sedentary\, scholarly life makes people sick. They focused on varying concerns over time: digestive woes\, melancholy\, tuberculosis\, spinal curvature\, reproductive weakness. The problems increased with access to education during the Enlightenment and into the 1800s. Tracing this idea from Europe to the United States\, from scholars to children\, and from boys’ to girls’ education\, the presentation shows how these fears inspired schools to get children moving. The (optional) interactive aspects of the presentation will include audience testing of historic exercise schemes\, some done in pairs. The program concludes with audience discussion of the relevance of this problem to our own times—like the Enlightenment\, a moment in history when many more people live the sedentary lives once limited to a few scholars. \nThis free public event is sponsored by New Hampshire Humanities. \n \nPhoto information: Girls’ Calisthenics class at Woodrow Wilson High\, Washington\, DC\, 1943 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Newmont Military Band Concert
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\n\n\nExperience authentic sounds of the late 1890s with the Newmont Military Band (NMB) when it performs at 3 p.m. on Sunday\, August 25\, 2019 in Heberton Hall\, 60 Winter Street\, at the Keene Public Library. The event is free and open to the public. \nMany are the historical connections with this band and Keene\, from a performer in the band itself\, James C. Chesebrough\, Professor Emeritus of Keene State College\, to the famous composer of music to be performed at the event\, Edwin Eugene Bagley (1857–1922)\, a favorite son of Keene and the person to whom the bandstand on Central Square was dedicated in 1979 by the visiting First Lady Rosalyn Carter. \nNMB\, which was formed in 1995 in Windsor\, VT.\, follows the original instrumentation that many of the ”Military” bands employed in the late 1890s. Most of the brass instruments played by the musicians in NMB were manufactured during the 19th century\, and all of them harken back over 100 years when compared to the sound of a modern band. \nNMB’s 2019 program\, The Music of New England’s Bagley Brothers\, features the music of E.E. Bagley\, whose music was known far and wide\, while he resided in Keene for the majority of his professional career. He wrote and first performed the National Emblem March in Keene. The composition remained second only to John Philip Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever in popularity\, according to the late Keene Historian David Proper. \nThe late Mr. Bagley’s gravesite and memorial are located in Keene’s Greenlawn Cemetery. \nE.E. Bagley’s older brother\, Ezra M. Bagley (1853-1886)\, was a successful performer in venues around the world. \nMade possible through the generous donation of Ruth and Carl Jacobs of Keene and through the auspices of the Historical Society of Cheshire County\, the performance will include music from the War Between the States\, love songs\, marches\, dances\, and old folk songs. Very likely also to be performed will be the National Emblem March. \nThe band has performed at the Shelburne Museum’s Heritage Days in Windsor\, VT; the Franklin Pierce Homestead in Hillsborough\, NH; The Gettysburg\, PA\, Band Festival several times; The Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg; and at numerous other historic venues. \nNMB players possess a different level of skill to produce the sound so indicative of the old-time bands. Their uniforms are based on photos of the Windsor Military Band performing at the summit of Mt. Ascutney in 1903.. \nBrought to you by Ruth and Carl Jacobs\, Jr.\, Historical Society of Cheshire County and Keene Public Library \nFree event … to RSVP Click Here
