Cokie Roberts will share stories from her new children’s book, “Founding Mothers: Remembering the Ladies.” Find out how Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Sarah Livingston Jay and other female patriots of the American Revolution helped forge our great nation. Did you know Lydia Darragh passed along valuable intelligence using coat buttons to hide messages? Or that Deborah Sampson disguised herself as a man so she could fight in the war?

Ms. Roberts will have a question and answer session after her presentation and sign books which will be for sale courtesy of Little Joe’s in Katonah. There will be light refreshments and tours of the Bedford Museum. The event is at the 1787 Court House, 615 Old Post Road, Bedford, NY from 1 – 2:30PM.
