BOOTHBAY HARBOR MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Dear Friend

Here at the library we're life-long-learning enthusiasts. We strive to bring you creative ways to engage with the past and present to help shape the future.
 
I hope you can join us on August 4th at 2:00 PM for A Revolution of her Own , a one of a kind Revolutionary War reenactment about Deborah Sampson, the first woman to enlist, to fight, and to be honorably discharged from the American Military.
 
The performance is suitable for all ages, so bring your kids, your grandkids, any war buffs you run with…and come enjoy this critically acclaimed show. See you there.

Sincerely,
Joanna Breen
Executive Director
