Hilary Goodnow, Public History Alumna, publishes article in Plimoth Life

Hilary Goodnow, an onsite interpreter at the Plimoth Plantation, graduated with a Public History MA from NC State in 2013. On the Mayflower II, she plays Alice Rigsdale, and in the 17^th century English village, she plays Mary Warren. Hilary wrote several pieces for Plimoth Life, including a “From the Record” feature titled “Ordinary People,” which is an article about women running ordinaries in Plymouth Colony, published in the magazine’s women’s history issue (Vol. 13, No. 1 2014). As Editorial Assistant and Contributor, Hilary used objects and document analysis to show how historians interpret the past when writing the feature. “That was my favorite part,” Hilary said. Congratulations, Hilary!
