Mary Baker Eddy: An extraordinary life told in ordinary terms on June 16

ASHLAND — The Ashland Historical Society will present "Mary Baker Eddy: An extraordinary life told in ordinary terms" at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 16 at the Ashland Booster Clubhouse, 99 Main Street. (The Clubhouse is the red building at the east end of the Town ball field on Routes 3 and 25.) Admission is free to the public, but donations are welcome.

The program depicts the personal history of a local girl who became the founder of the Christian Science movement. In a re-imagined interview, Boston Herald reporter Sibyl Wilbur, portrayed by Linda Salatiello, elicits the life story of Mary Baker Eddy, as depicted by Evelyn Auger. It is an amazing tale and not at all what one might envision. Come and meet the woman with New Hampshire roots who lived in more places than George Washington slept.

This program is the second in a series of five to be presented to the public this year by the Ashland Historical Society. Visit the Society's website ashlandnhhistory.org for further information on their programs.
