Save the Date: Sunday, March 29 for the play Independence: The True Story of Dr. Mary Walker.
Born in Oswego, NY, Dr. Mary E. Walker became one of the few women physicians in the country. A Civil War surgeon, dress reform crusader, women's rights activist, suffragist, feminist, abolitionist and prisoner of war, Dr. Walker is the only female recipient of the Medal of Honor, presented to her in 1866.
Residents are invited to a production of Independence: The True Story of Dr. Mary Walker at 3 pm Sunday, March 29, in the Gathering Room.
Actress Kathie Barnes will play the role of Dr. Walker in this 70-minute play, to be followed by Q & A with the audience and then a reception in the Private Dining Room.
The play will be dedicated to the memory of our own Civil War historian Bill McFeely.
