On February 22, 2023 the public is invited back for our second Story Court. Please come learn about your neighbors, days of the past and how it all started… the Historic Salem Courthouse has recruited Anne Lourie and Charles Perry to tell stories from their lives as educators in the Village of Salem.
The Story Court program will be similar to StoryCorps, a national organization, in the way that personal stories are recorded and preserved for future retrieval. The program invites speakers to tell "their story" to friends and neighbors.
Al Cormier will be the moderator and the event will be recorded by Thomas McMorris. Mr. McMorris has published the first Story Court from October 6 with guests Dick McGuire and Neil Adams on YouTube, it can be found on his channel and the Courthouse website www.salemcourthouse.org.
The Story Court program aims to promote community building by gathering people together for an entertaining and educational program, all the while preserving the rich history and heritage that Salem and Washington County has. As a Revolutionary War site, a former county seat, an agriculture producer, and a hot spot for the arts, there is a plethora to share and learn in Salem.
The gathering is informal and seeks a diverse range of topics. A soup and salad will be shared at 6pm, with the program starting at 7pm in the Archive Room of the Courthouse.
Those with questions or to sign up to be a speaker please contact Rachel Clothier or Krista Sullivan at hscpa@salemcourthouse.org or call 518-854-7053.
