Most blogs aren’t half as interesting as Martha Ballard’s famous diary. Martha was a midwife, healer, and mortician best known for her diary detailing 18th and 19th century life in the Augusta area. “What Martha Ballard Wore” with Kelli Burnham, reference librarian at the Maine State Library, will be held on July 30 at 6 p.m. Clothing that was worn, made, and bought by Martha’s family will be the main focus.
