Bethel Historical at Molly Ockett DAR

Molly Ockett Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, were honored to receive Will Chapman from the Museum of Bethel Historical Society, who presented a lecture on “The Evolving Legacy of Mali Agat (Molly Ockett).” 

Chapman, the executive director at MBHS, discussed the process from which events become history against the backdrop and contextualization of the Abenaki itinerant healer Mali Agat’s life and the stories which evolved in later generations. The Chapter is especially thankful to Chapman for enabling the group to learn about and help keep the memory of Mail Agat (Molly Ockett), the namesake of the Chapter, alive today.
