The Peterborough Woman’s Club and the Monadnock Center for History and Culture will present “Founding Mothers: Women’s Lives in 1776” on Wednesday, March 25, at the Monadnock Center, 19 Grove St., Peterborough.
The free program, with a suggested $10 donation, runs from 6 to 8 p.m. Donations support Peterborough Woman’s Club scholarships. Doors open at 6 p.m. for 1776-era refreshments and exhibit viewing, and the program begins at 6:30 p.m. A snow date is set for April 1.
Monadnock Center Director Michelle Stahl will lead the program, which examines women’s lives in the Monadnock region during the Revolutionary era.
Two exhibits tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary will be on view: “Relics and Antiquities,” featuring 18th-century artifacts including a red wool cloak made by Mary Wilson of Wilson Tavern, and “Let’s Celebrate,” on milestone anniversary celebrations from 1826 to 1976.
Reservations are recommended but not required.
