Cancelled — Bag Lunch Arts – Grandma Gatewood: A Character Portrayal

This program has been cancelled but we will work to reschedule this summer if possible!

Actress Anne Van Curen transforms into Emma “Grandma” Gatewood to describe what it was like to be the first woman to solo hike the Appalachian Trail in 1955. The dramatization is based off of the book “Gradma Gatewood’s Walk”, which was written from accounts of Gatewood’s surviving family members, newspaper magazine articles and her own diaries and trail journals.  This program is also our National Library Week Celebration.  Join us!
