The Sparta Historical Society will sponsor a performance by Carol Simon Levin of her one-woman show “Crazy Daisy -Juliette Low, Intrepid Founder of the Girl Scouts.”
While she impersonates Low, Levin will tell how an impulsive, nearly deaf, eccentric, fun-loving trans-Atlantic socialite founded an inclusive movement that has empowered millions of girls worldwide.
The performance, on Thursday, March 16, is during National Girl Scout Week.
The show will be at 7 p.m. at Sparta Presbyterian Church, 32 Main St., followed by refreshments. Those attending will have a chance to ask questions about Low.
The cost is $10 for nonmembers. Members are free.
The Sparta Historical Society is at the Van Kirk Homestead Museum, 336 Main St. (Route 517), Sparta.
The museum will open Sunday, April 23 with a spring exhibition called “Discover the ART in SpARTa.”
It will be open every second and fourth Sunday through Dec. 12 from 1- to 4 p.m. with a talk at 2 p.m. For information or group reservations, call 973-726-0883 or send email to spartahistoricalsocnj@gmail.com
