Liberty is Our Motto: Songs and Stories of the Hutchinson Family

September 8, 2011 by dalandlibrary

Thursday, October 20, 7:30 pm @ MV Congreational Church.

The Friends of the Daland Memorial Library and the Mont Vernon Historical Society have received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to present the program, Liberty is Our Motto. Originally from Milford, the Hutchinson Family Singers were America’s most popular musical entertainers for much of the mid-19th century. They achieved international fame with songs advancing social reform and political causes such as abolition, temperance, women’s suffrage, and the Lincoln presidential campaign of 1860. Chatauquan, musician and singer Steve Blunt (in character as John Hutchinson) tells the Hutchinsons’ story and shares their music with audiences of all ages.  We have a local connection, too. The story goes that John Hutchinson used to hike up the hill from Milford on Sunday mornings to hear a sweet little lady sing in the church choir and eventually made her his wife! This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. The library does hold the 2-volume biography/history of the Hutchinson family if you are interested in learning more about the Hutchinson family.
