Grafton Historical Society Meeting

The Grafton Historical Society will meet at 7 pm in the Grafton Town Hall on August 21. This month’s program is about Lincoln’s Secret, a novel presented by the author Edward Peck.
In this Civil War novel, Lincoln’s right to hold office is thrown into doubt and the incriminating documents are in the hands of an adversary. What must the North do to protect its war effort and Lincoln’s presidency and thus save the Union? Colonel Lafayette C. Baker, head of the War Department’s Secret Service, turns to his long-time friend, Aaron Putnam, to quash the rumors and protect the war effort. Putnam is well aware that he faces the hangman’s harsh noose as well as the loss of his treasured Union if he fails. He enlists the aid of southern Unionists led by America’s greatest heroine, Elizabeth Van Lew, to help ensure the success of his mission.
The program is free and the public is welcome. Refreshments will be served.
