Voice of the Mountains: Jeanne Robert Foster, an Adirondack Legacy

Step into the life and legacy of Jeanne Robert Foster, a prolific early 20th-century poet and journalist from the southern Adirondacks, in this one-woman performance by storyteller Eileen Egan Mack. Through stories, poetry, and dramatic readings, Mack traces Foster’s journey from her Adirondack roots to becoming a celebrated poet, journalist, and social reformer.

Inspired by Foster’s works, the performance explores how the landscapes, people, and traditions of the Adirondacks shaped her writing and legacy. Discover the voice of a pioneering woman whose love for the mountains inspired a lifetime of creativity and whose words continue to celebrate the spirit of New York’s North Country.
