Abby Hutchinson's Sweet Freedom Songs

Wednesday, March 29, 2023

Deborah Anne Goss appears as Abby Hutchinson Patton, recalling mid-19th-century U.S. and New Hampshire history through performance and song. RSVP required.

Deborah Anne Goss appears as Abby Hutchinson Patton, recalling mid-19th-century U.S. and New Hampshire history and performing rousing anthems, heartfelt ballads, and humorous ditties sung during anti-slavery and early women's rights struggles. 

In the 1840s and 1850s the Hutchinson Family Singers strongly influenced the opinions of the era with their popular songs promoting healthy living and social justice-most prominently the abolition of slavery. 

Participants are encouraged to join in the singing on several choruses or read a poem or political diatribe of the time. 

Please RSVP online to attend.
