Town Center Landmarks on Parade & A Witness Stone Installation at St. Peter’s – Saturday, May 30, 1-4 and 4-6 pm
Landmarks on Parade (From 1-4pm) The Town Center Project invites you to visit the historic structures in the Hebron Center as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary. St. Peter’s will be one of the sites and Fr. Ron will dress again as Samuel Peters, and be providing tours and sharing history of the church.
Witness Stone Installation & Research Display (From 4-6pm) The Hebron Historical Society and RHAM Middle School students have been researching history of African American farming in the center of the village. On Saturday, May 30th at 4:00 they will be installing a Witness Stone on the property, followed by a display of the student work and research findings in the parish hall.
The stone will be placed on a pillar between the church building and the former home of Governor John Peters, located to the north of the church. The Witness Stone commemorates the wonderful work by Governor Peters in reassembling farm land across the street that includes our nature preserve and the 87 additional acres owned by the town. This land has historical significance going back to Native Americans some 10,000 years and has an important story of African American farming and emancipation.
Buildings and Grounds committee meeting at St. Peter’s parish hall, 7pm. For more information contact Curt Kraemer.

In this time of great uncertainty one way to combat anxiety is through humorous storytelling. Elizabeth McCain developed a humorous one-woman play based on life events. The material of McCain’s play resembles talented writers’ styles such as Dorothy Allison’s honesty, Julia Reed’s Southern sass and irreverence, and David Sedaris’s satirical wit.
A Lesbian Belle Tells affirms and validates the LGBTQ+ community and beyond, with universal themes of self-discovery, acceptance, family struggles, forgiveness, loss, and love. McCain spins stories with a beating heart and dispenses a powerful dose of medicine for the soul to heal just about anything. The performance will be part of PRIDE celebration sponsored by Small Town PRIDE and East Hampton PRIDE.

This speech was given by Frederick Douglass in June 1852 to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society. It became one of Douglass’s most famous speeches—criticizing the chasm between America’s Founding principles and the institution of slavery. Douglass lamented that Independence Day wasn’t a day of celebration for enslaved people. At the same time, he urged his audience to read the U.S. Constitution not as a pro-slavery document, but as a “GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT.”
Since 1985 actor and orator Fred Morsell has embodied Frederick Douglass in performances across the country. He brought his character to life in Washington DC, bringing it to every high school thanks to a grant by the National Humanities Council and the Caring Institute. He will perform this great speech as part of the Juneteenth Weekend in collaboration with the Coalition on Diversity and Equity (CoDE). Now 85 years old he will be coming to us all the way from his home in Montana. His performance is in the great tradition of historical enactment performers, much in the same way Hal Holbrook embodied Mark Twain. This is yet another unique performance you will not want to miss.
