The Historical Society will present The Ghost of Lydia Maria Child on Sunday, February 11 at 2:30pm at the Islamic Center of Boston. Playwright and actress Laura Duggan will present a videotape of her performance of “The Ghost of Lydia Maria Child” about Wayland’s premier 19th century author and abolitionist. Laura, who comes to us from Medford, Mrs. Child’s birthplace, created and starred in this loving tribute to Mrs. Child, who was born on February 11. The thread that connects her presentation is a bonnet that Mrs. Child wore for many years and is now a treasured item in the Wayland Historical Society collections. Laura will be on hand for questions and comments and to celebrate Mrs. Child’s 216th birthday. Optional tour of the Islamic Center follows. The film will start at 3:00 PM. Refreshments will be served.
