The Cook Memorial Library has received support from New Hampshire Humanities to participate in US@250: Big Watch, a statewide series of community events based around a shared “watch” and discussion of a segment of The American Revolution, a new film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt.
The film screening and discussion will be presented on Wednesday, May 6, at 7:00 p.m. at the Cook Memorial Library located at 93 Main Street in Tamworth Village.
The featured segment from The American Revolution, “The Spirit of Service,” explores service as a core American value, from the nation’s founding through to the present day, by examining volunteerism, civic participation, public leadership, and more. Immediately after viewing the segment, facilitator Mary Adams of the New Hampshire Historical Society will guide conversations about “remembering together.”
This program is free and open to the public. Preregistration is appreciated. Visit https://bit.ly/usa250tamworth to register.
