Ocean County Library Lacey Branch to Present ‘George & Martha Washington: A Love Story’

LACEY TOWNSHIP – Celebrate Valentine’s and Presidents’ Days in the company of America’s original “first couple.” The Ocean County Library Lacey Branch is pleased to present historical interpreters Alisa Dupuy and Curt Radabaugh in “George & Martha Washington: A Love Story,” 2 PM Tuesday, February 11.

Their story of romance and respect brings a warm, human slant to the tale of our nation’s origins. George and Martha were vibrant figures with a strong, loving marriage that lasted more than 40 years. Alisa and Curt highlight the indispensable support that Martha gave to help George maintain strength and morale through the trials of American Revolution.

Military veteran and retired law enforcement officer Curt Radabaugh transformed his lifelong admiration of George Washington into a mission to help preserve America’s past for a new generation. In a 2022 Chatting with the Histocrats interview, Curt enthused, “His strength and commitment are why we’re here. There is so much George Washington history…his entire life is full of things that impacted America.”

Martha Washington is only one of many historic portrayals by retired teacher Alisa Dupuy, owner and creative force of The Ladies of History. She seeks to make history fun and to emphasize the importance of women’s contributions to it. Alisa has brought iconic women to life for historical societies, libraries, book and social clubs, schools and charitable fundraisers.
