Anne Dudley Bradstreet, America's First Poetress, A Dedication

In September 2000, I was invited to attend the dedication of the Anne Bradstreet Memorial Stone at the Old Burying Ground in North Andover, Massachusetts. The date was chosen because it was the 350th anniversary of the first book book of poetry written in America by Anne Bradstreet.

Below are items from that celebrated day.

Photos of plaques and area of where Anne lived in Ipswich with her husband and where her father, Thomas Dudley lived is in my post at: https://lifefromtheroots.blogspot.com/2019/11/where-bradstreets-and-dudleys-lived-in.html
