STORYTELLING DINNER
Bearded Turtle
visits Corner House Inn
Peter
Brodeur, aka Bearded Turtle, makes an appearance at the Corner House
Inn’s Storytelling Dinner Program. Peter is not an
American Indian Storyteller, but rather
a teller of American Indian stories,
mostly stories from the Northeast
Woodlands. He is native to the area,
born and raised in Penacook, NH and
these stories are about places and
things that are part of him. He started
telling stories in the 1990’s while
working at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian
Museum in Warner, NH, and is a member of
the Central New Hampshire Storytelling
Guild. Peter has shared his love of
stories in schools, at camps and
campgrounds, in libraries, nursing
homes, and anywhere people want to
listen. With permission and even
encouragement from the Native
storytellers he has met Peter does his
part to keep alive an oral tradition
over 10,000 years old (some of the
stories he tells have never been written
down). For as Peter was taught by a MicMac storyteller: “A story is only a
story if it is told.”
Storytelling Dinners are held every
Thursday evening at the Corner House in
Center Sandwich from late October
through May. The Dinner begins at 6:30
PM and the cost is only $16.95 per
person. For more information and
reservations contact the Corner House
Inn at 603-284-6219 or online at
