The Oakland B&O Museum presents Eleanor Roosevelt at the Oakland B&O Station, a performance by Christy Beckman and Liz Gilbert. Christy will portray Eleanor Roosevelt speaking at the Oakland B&O Station in 1942 before she leaves for Arthurdale, WV. Liz will play a fictitious character, Sue Ann Lambert, also at the station traveling from St. Louis to Washington D. C.
Christy is a 7th grader at Swan Meadow School and this will be her first public performance of a historic monologue. Her love of books and volunteering at Our Town Theatre's Costume Shop inspired her portrayal of Martha Washington for a class project this year. When Liz Gilbert, her teacher, was approached by representatives of the Oakland B&O Museum to have a student portray Eleanor Roosevelt at the station, Christy was an obvious choice. Eleanor Roosevelt made many visits to Arthurdale, WV, the site of a New Deal Community she helped establish.
