The event is set for June 21 at the Oswego Town Hall.
The Historical Society is putting on the show as a fundraiser for its Dr. Mary Walker statue project.

Dr. Mary Walker, Oswego Town’s most famous resident, was born in November 1832 in Oswego Town.
She passed away in February of 1919 and was buried in Oswego Town’s Rural Cemetery.
The Oswego Town Historical Society has been working on erecting a statue in Walker’s honor for several years.
