Smithsonian Magazine declared "Elizabeth Hamilton is deserving of a musical of her own!"  From wealthy belle to family protector, Eliza's indomitable spirit and unwavering devotion to Alexander enabled her to survive and thrive after tragedy. Her commitment to creating Alexander's legacy, after his tragic death, is the reason we know so much about his life more than two hundred years later. This is a one-woman narrative show of Mrs. Hamilton discussing her life with Alexander as well has her life after his death. Join actress, historian, and former Massachusetts Storyteller of the Year Anne Barrett as she shines history's light on perhaps the most influential and least understood Mother of the American Revolution. https://thayermemoriallibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/meet-eliza-hamilton/
