Experience what life in Colonial New England was like in the late 1700's. Meet characters not always found in the history books and perhaps learn a few new things about those that are. Learn their fears, their laughter, feel their joy, see their country.

Storyteller, Andy Cheney, brings history to life in period costume as he portrays Ebenezer Webster, a soldier, settler and family man of Salisbury, NH. Andy's stories are based on researched facts, character sketches and his personal experience gained through participation in Living History and its family of re-enactors.

Although Andy has been accused of telling tall tales for years, he formally became a member of the Central NH Storytelling Guild in 2002. In the spring of 2000, Andy and his family began Historical Re-enacting by joining the Quebec Historical Corps, depicting both French and Indian War and Revolutionary War periods. In 2001, he became a volunteer at the Daniel Webster Birthplace in Franklin, NH. 2003 brought new opportunities by signing on as a volunteer at The Old Fort at #4 in Charlestown, NH.

Andy has told stories in many venues, including Annacharico Theater, Concord, NH; Massabesic Audubon Society, Manchester, NH; Boscawen Old Home Days, Boscawen, NH. He told stories and presented a Living History program in the Academy History Class and Elementary classes at Pine Tree Academy, Freeport, ME.

A typical presentation would be 30 to 45 minutes of period stories. Any stories would be adjusted to be age appropriate. A demonstration of equipment and gear can also be arranged.
