Mary Thacher - Hometown Heroine
The Thacher family arrived in America in the early 1600s, part of the Great Puritan Migration from England to the Colonies. Through their determination to survive and thrive, the Thachers played an important role in the creation of the town of Yarmouth Port that we see around us today. In this presentation, we will focus on Mary Thacher’s life as she continued her family’s legacy by supporting charities and initiatives related to historic preservation and environmental conservation. Join us at Thacher Hall for this insightful lecture on local legend, Mary Thacher, brought to you by your local art historian, Mary Woodward!
Mary C. Woodward has spent more than 40 years in the museum and historic home business, having earned her B.A. and M.A. degrees in Art History. She has worked at large, comprehensive collections such as the Cleveland Museum of Art and tiny properties like the 17th century log cabin and birthplace of President James K. Polk. Currently, Mary is the Vice President of Historical Society of Old Yarmouth and its Collections Management Chair, overseeing the Society’s 19th century sea captain’s house and its objects. Additionally, she is also Lead Guide at Historic New England’s Winslow Crocker House.
