ZOOM- The Founding Mothers

This program will also be streamed to our Kingsley Room. Register here if you want to watch it at the library.

Learn about the women who stood behind the founding Fathers. Who were they and how did they contribute to the cause of American independence?

Historian Valerie Gugala has been studying Abraham and Mary Lincoln for as long as she can remember.  Her interest in the Lincolns led her to an interest in the Presidents, First Ladies, and their families. She and her husband have traveled to many Presidential Libraries across the country, and they aim to visit all of them in the next few years. Over the last 25 years, Valerie has spoken at libraries, schools, churches, senior groups, and park districts throughout the country. She loves to share her knowledge of and enthusiasm for our country’s history with audiences.
