In 20<strong>16</strong>, after a major planning<br />
process, John Mayer was hired as<br />
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26th the executive director and asked<br />
to lead the process of developing a<br />
community history museum. During<br />
that period, there has been much<br />
accomplishment. The organization<br />
refined its’ mission – “to champion<br />

GOTHIC VICTORIAN TALES<br />
BY CANDLELIGHT<br />
Rita Parisi from Waterfall<br />
Productions will present “Gothic<br />
Victorian Tales by Candlelight”<br />
at the October Meeting of the<br />
Whittier Home on October<br />
26th from 4:00 to 6:00pm. This<br />
theatrical presentation will feature<br />
stories about Curses, Death and<br />
Immortality from the 19th century<br />
New England writer, Sarah Orne<br />
Jewett. A native of South Berwick<br />
Maine, her stories mirror the<br />
everyday lives of New Englanders;<br />
often reflecting the mysterious<br />
and supernatural. John Greenleaf<br />
Whittier and Sarah Orne Jewett<br />
shared a warm friendship through<br />
extensive correspondence, and had<br />
mutual admiration for each other’s<br />
work. For Whittier, Sarah Jewett<br />
became the “daughter” he had never<br />
had; for Miss Jewett, Whittier took<br />
the place of the father she lost all too<br />
early.<br />
This program is funded by a<br />
grant from the Amesbury Cultural<br />
Council. Rita Parisi has been<br />
entertaining audiences for over<br />
20 years in the New England<br />
area. Seasonal refreshments will<br />
be provided. The cost is $<strong>10</strong> per<br />
