Out & About: Learn how Progressive Era crusader Jennie Powers brought justice in southern N.H., Vt. Modified: 3/3/2021 9:19:33 PM WOODSTOCK — A few years ago, the city of Keene was trying to decide the subjects for 16 murals that were to be painted throughout the city when Jenna Carroll suggested Progressive Era figure Jennie Powers, who crusaded against animal and domestic abuse. “It was funny because nobody had really heard of her story before,” said Carroll, director of education for Historical Society of Cheshire County, who learned about Powers through the extensive collection of her archives housed at the historical society. Keene saw the merit in honoring Powers, and she got a mural.
