One Woman Musical Honors History’s Shapers

BROOKFIELD — The Brookfield Museum and Historical Society will present a performance of the one woman musical This Old Hat on Sunday, March 30, at 2 pm.

The show, written and created by Patty Carver, brings to life the women of American history who have helped shape our country.

The museum is located at the corners of Routes 25 and 133 in Brookfield Center.

Brookfield Museum and Historical Society is currently running an exhibit called “Brookfield Through Photographs,” which features, among other photos, pictures of many of the 155 Brookfield suffragettes who were the first women of the community to be sworn in as voters in October 1920.

The month of March has been officially designated Women in History Month and the musical coupled with the exhibit pays tribute to some early pioneers of women’s rights on both the local and national level.

The performance will start at 2 pm. For information, call 740-8140 or visit www.BrookfieldCTHistory.org.
