Meet Mrs. Mary Rowlandson at the Princeton Center
Master Storyteller and National Award Winner, Katie Green of Princeton, MA will present her latest program, Meet Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, on Sunday, November 14, at the Princeton Center, 18 Boylston Avenue, Princeton. This presentation, appropriate for adults and mature students, will begin at 2p.m. Mary Rowlandson, a Puritan who was held in captivity by the Indians for eleven weeks during King Philip’s War in 1676, is well known in Princeton. Her husband was the first minister for the town of Lancaster, and during her eleven week captivity she traveled through many towns in Massachusetts, and even into New Hampshire and Vermont before she was released at Redemption Rock in Princeton. Ms. Green will introduce the audience to Mary Rowlandson through her book and through the lens of Puritan thought and Early Colonial Times. The story of
Mrs. Mary Rowlandson is relevant today, not only as part of our Colonial American history, but also because it provides as an opportunity to reflect on present-day life. Discussion and a question-answer time will follow this little-studied period of Early American history. The program is made available by a grant from the Princeton Cultural Council which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. More information about Katie Green’s work is available on her web site www.katiegreenstories.com. To contact the Princeton Historical Society, send email to princetonmahistory@gmail.com.
