This exhibition tells the remarkable story of Augusta Malquit—known locally as “Charcoal Annie”—a French immigrant who arrived in Sharon at seventeen and built a business that became essential to the region’s iron industry.

In anticipation of the United States Semiquincentennial, the Sharon Historical Society & Museum presents Independence Revisited: Sharon in 1776, 1876, 1976, which traces the community’s relationship with its revolutionary past.
