Presentations will be made by author and keynote speaker Stephanie Schorow. She will discuss her book “The Crime of the Century: How the Brink’s Robbers Stole Millions and the Hearts of Boston.” Living history presentations will be performed in period attire by Julia Donahue (“Mother Goose”), Linda Palmer (“Ann Vassall: A Puritan Woman in 1637”), James B. Hogan (“1775 New England Congregational Pastor”), the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment (“The Storming of Fort Wagner”), David L. Smith (“New England During the Civil War”), the Lexington Minutemen and folklorist John Horrigan, who will present brief vignettes on “The Great Nantucket Fire of 1846”, “John Winthrop’s Sudden Gust” and “The Great Meteor Storm of 1833”. The New England History Festival has been affectionately referred to by some as “Historapalooza”. It is a living history celebration and a revue of reenactors and researchers who proclaim that “the past is a blast!” The hall is accessible for the handicapped and by public transportation (a short walk from to Watertown Bus Yard).
