Join the Lake County History Center on Saturday, March 8 at noon for a delicious lunch and learn about Stagecoach Mary Fields who was born a slave and lived by her wits and her strength. 

Robin Echols Cooper will portray Mary and how she traveled north to Ohio, settled in Toledo and worked for the Catholic convent. She formed a strong bond with Mother Amadeus. When the nuns moved to Montana and Mary learned of Mother Amadeus' failing health, she went west to help out.  Having nursed Mother Amadeus back to health, she decided to stay and help build the St. Peter's mission school.  She protected the nuns.  Mary was a pistol-packing, hard-drinking woman, who needed nobody to fight her battles for her.  

The menu will feature a salad, lemon chicken, rice pilaf and a seasonal vegetable.  Registration is required.  No refunds will be given.  Cost is $38 members/$42 nonmembers.  Register at lakehistory.eventbrite.com or call 440-639-2945.
