Florence Nightingale: The Lady with the Lamp
Saturday, March 7, 2026
4:00-5:00pm
 
Step back into the Victorian era as registered nurse and historical interpreter Jane McEldowney brings one of history's most influential women to life, Florence Nightingale. Jane will perform fully in character as Florence Nightingale, sharing the remarkable story behind the woman who transformed modern healthcare. The audience will discover Florence's personal struggles, her determination to pursue nursing despite societal expectations, and the lasting impact of her groundbreaking work during the Crimean War and beyond. Learn how Nightingale's innovative ideas shaped not only nursing, but public health, education, hospital design, statistics, and opportunities for women. Following, Jane will step out of character to answer any audience questions.
