Preservation Foundation Presents “Ellen Hardin Walworth: Private to Public Life” March 21

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 21 presents the virtual program “Ellen Hardin Walworth: Private to Public Life.” 

Corinne Scirocco and Heather Mabee, officers of the Saratoga Springs Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), will discuss the storied life of Ellen Hardin Walworth and her passion for preserving the history of Saratoga Springs and its veterans. 

After facing adversity from an abusive marriage, Ellen became a lawyer, was one of the four founders of the NSDAR as well as the local chapter and was the only female Trustee of the Saratoga Battle Monument Association. Her accomplishments affected local and national preservation efforts thanks to her personal fortitude and rebelling against the idea of the “true Victorian woman.”  

“As one of Saratoga Springs most notable residents of the late 19th and early 20th century, it is most fitting to showcase the life of Ellen Hardin Walworth as the Women’s History Month program,” said Executive Director Samantha Bosshart.

This Women’s History Month program will take place on Zoom for a suggested donation of $10 or more. For additional information or to register for the virtual program visit www.saratogapreservation.org or call 518-587-5030. Everyone who pre-registers for this program will be emailed a Zoom link in advance and will receive a link to the recording.
