The Seneca Falls Historical Society will honor Queen Catharine Montour during its annual Elizabeth Cady Stanton Luncheon on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 11 a.m.
This year’s program brings together author Cynthia G. Neale and knowledge keeper Jaime L. Montour for a joint presentation on the life and legacy of Queen Catharine.
Neale, who wrote the historical novel Catharine, Queen of the Tumbling Waters, will speak about the creative process and deep research behind the book.
Catharine Montour lived during the time of the American Revolution, when Haudenosaunee villages were being destroyed.
Organizers say the event aims to lift up both the legacy of Stanton and the lesser-known women like Queen Catharine whose stories deserve a larger voice.
