Dr. Daisy Century as Mary Fields: A Historical Performance

March 4th, 2024 No comments

Join Winters Heritage House and historical interpreter Daisy Century as she takes the audience along for a ride with cowgirl, mail carrier, and stagecoach driver Mary Fields.

Fields was born a slave in Tennessee and then freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. She traveled west to Montana where she cared for an ill childhood friend and found work as a stable hand and foreman at a mill.

Fields became the first African American woman to drive a mail delivery stagecoach for the U.S. Post Office Department. Fields was independent and tough. She could read AND shoot. Fields’ wild west adventures made her a popular and inspiring figure with both frontier journalists and the residents of the Montana town of Cascade, where she was the only African American resident.

The performance coincides with Women’s History Month and the Winters Heritage House’s spring exhibit, No Matter What the Dress, Women Making a Difference.

The presentation is free to the public as part of the Conversation E-town series but RSVPs are requested as seating is limited. Please RSVP either through EventBrite or by calling Winters Heritage House (717) 367-4672. The event will be held at the Winters Heritage House’s adjacent H.U. Coble House, 33 E. High St. Elizabethtown, PA. There is both free and metered parking behind 33 E High St., with additional parking below the alley or at the nearby Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 125 E. High St. Elizabethtown.
