In connection with the exhibit, historical interpreter Daisy Century will portray cowgirl, mail carrier, and stagecoach driver Mary Fields on Tuesday, March 26, at 7 p.m. in the adjacent H.U. Coble House, 33 E. High St. Elizabethtown.

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, who could also read and shoot, became 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 presentation is free and open to the public as part of the Conversation E-town series, but reservations are requested because seating is limited. To register, search for "Dr. Daisy Century as Mary Fields: A Historical Performance" at http://www.eventbrite.com. For more information, call the aforementioned number or email malinda@elizabethtownhistory.org.

There is both free and metered parking behind 33 E High St., with additional parking beyond the alley or at the nearby Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 75 E. High St., Elizabethtown.
