Description

The Grover Cleveland Birthplace and the Grover Cleveland Birthplace Memorial Association are proud to announce plans for “Grover Cleveland Week 2023” during the week of March 12-18. Grover Cleveland’s 186th Birthday is Saturday March 18th. Please note that advanced registration for activities on Saturday March 18th is required on EventBrite. 1:00: Michael Miller, Author of “High Bridge”, a historical fiction book about suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage and future president Grover Cleveland. From the author: Upstate New York in the mid-19th century is a cauldron bubbling with the lure of fast fortunes, religious zealotry, and battles for civil liberties. This fervor centers on the Erie Canal, which successfully supports scores of villages brimming with opportunity. One such village, Fayetteville, shapes the lives of two future American leaders. “High Bridge” tells the stories of a young newlywed, the only child of freethinking abolitionists, and a puckish lad who grows up in the large family of an austere reverend. Despite their different childhoods and world-views, they form an unlikely friendship. Can they combine their skills to solve a mystery and vindicate a Black man accused of murder? Events for children and adults are at 10:00 a.m. Special ceremony at 12:00 p.m. Historian Louis Picone at 2:30 p.m. Look for information on another Event Brite posting.
