The Hickory Community Theatre Guild and the Sons of Confederate Veterans present the living history event - Nora Brooks, "An Evening with Mildred Childe Lee" on Friday April 3rd at 7:30 in the Firemen's Kitchen at HCT.
Mildred Childe Lee was the youngest daughter of General Robert E. Lee. Ms. Brooks performance brings this historical figure to vibrant life as she shares the story of life with her famous father. The convincing performance provides detailed insight into the family life of Gen. and Mrs. Lee and their children.
Nora Brooks, a long time teacher in Union County Schools, gave her first person account of Anna Jackson last year to a sold out Firemen's Kitchen audience. The response to Brooks' evening with Mrs. Jackson prompted sponsors to present the Mildred Lee portrayal.

She is an alumnus of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College and a recipient of the Jefferson Davis Medal for Promotion and Preservation of Southern History by the North Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
