Join us for an evening with author, Molly Beer, as we celebrate MA250, a statewide initiative in Massachusetts, which celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution.

Molly Beer’s work as a writer and international teacher led her to Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and elsewhere. But her debut book is a homecoming, both to the U.S. and to her rural American hometown of Angelica, New York.

By researching and writing the life and experiences of the ambitious, charismatic Angelica Schuyler Church, who inspired much more than her town’s name, Molly Beer set out to tell the U.S. origin story from the perspective of a woman situated at the heart of the American Revolution and the founding era.

Angelica joins Molly Beer’s body of award-winning nonfiction that grapples with the politics of place, from travel and the environment to women’s history.
