Coming this fall - Ruth Goodman
You may not recognize her name, but you likely have seen Ruth Goodman on
television stretching a pig's bladder to seal a preserve jar, chasing farm
animals from the garden, or cleaning a bedroom to rid it of bed bugs.
Goodman is a free lance historian working with museums, theatre, television and
educational organizations - and she has appeared in the British television
programs Tales from the Green Valley, Victorian Farm, Victorian Farm Christmas,
Victorian Pharmacy and Edwardian Farm. Produced by Lion Television for the BBC,
these programs air in Ontario on TVOntario, and hopefully on PBS in your
community.
The Waterloo Wellington Museums and Galleries is hosting Goodman on the morning
of Saturday, November 5 for a public presentation at the Waterloo Region Museum.
Goodman will explore the Edwardian era for Britain's rural population, and all
the subtle changes that made it stand apart from the proceeding generations, as
well as those things that tied it firmly into an ongoing narrative.
Doors open at 8:30 a.m. for coffee, with Goodman's presentation starting at 9:30. Tickets are $25 plus HST and are available by calling the Waterloo Region Museum at 519-748-1914.
Ruth Goodman's presentation is generously sponsored by Waterloo Wellington Museums and Galleries, Waterloo Region Museum and the Region of Waterloo, TVOntario, and Hillcrest House Bed and Breakfast in Waterloo.
