Popular Bedford resident and charming Town Historian Sharon McDonald will be the Society’s Annual Meeting guest speaker, talking once again about another set of ancient and interesting Bedford residents, as she had done in past lecture seasons. This time, her Cast of (Nineteenth Century Historical) Characters will include abolitionist and suffragist Lucinda Hosmer, anti-vaccination doctor Emmanuel Pfeiffer, and notorious Benjamin Simonds, who left Bedford with the law on his heels. This talk will follow the Society’s Annual Meeting and election of Directors.
