Spend an entertaining afternoon Sunday, February 1, with Woody Pringle and Marek Bennett as they take us back in time to the American Civil War.

The program, “Rally ‘Round the Flag’: The American Civil War Through Folk Song” is presented by the Wilmot Historical Society and sponsored by the N.H. Humanities Council.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 2 PM at the WCA’s Red Barn, 64 Village Road next to the Post Office in Wilmot Flat.

Through camp songs, parlor music, hymns, battlefield rallying cries, and fiddle tunes, Pringle and Bennett, using several different musical instruments, will examine the folk song as a means for presenting living history.

Audience participation is encouraged and will bring home the connection between song, art, politics and history.

The Curiosity Shop, the fundraising arm of the Wilmot Historical Society, will be selling local history publications. Also, WHS memberships may be renewed at this time. Light refreshments will be served following the program.
