Kirkwood resident Anne Williams is a certified historic interpreter and has volunteered at the Daniel Boone Home in Defiance, Missouri since 1996.
She combines history and literature, dresses in period clothing and shares with guests the historic context of stories and the authors who write them.
Among other things, she performs at special events for the National Park Service including at the Old Court House and Grant’s Home. She recites the Declaration of Independence every year in Kirkwood.
During this holiday season, Williams will perform at the Daniel Boone Home and the Lemp Mansion.
Host Steve Potter talked with Williams about her work as an interpreter but primarily about her recitation of stories.
She recited, from memory, Stave 2 of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” part of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and “A Visit from St. Nicholas.”
