Journey back in time with Ebenezer Webster, father of statesman, Daniel Webster, as he is portrayed by storyteller, Andy Cheney, from Webster NH.

Andy has been portraying Ebenezer Webster, entertaining and educating with his historical tales, since joining the Central NH Storytelling Guild in 2002.

Andy was not fond of history in his teen years, but later discovered that history could be fun, if you can 'live it.' He and his family joined the ranks of many history lovers in the wonderful world of historical re-enacting, or 'living history,' 8 years ago. Andy's excitement about colonial life, grew into storytelling, where he weaves stories of his own experience and imagination along with actual historical accounts.

Andy's stories are engaging as he paints, with words, a portrait of life in New England in the mid 1700's. He will introduce you to characters not always found in the history books and perhaps share a few new things about those who are. Marvel at the honor and graciousness of brave men and women of the times.

Andy has presented his unique program at libraries, elementary schools, a high school, a local historical society, as well as at Audubon campfires and reenactments around New England. He has participated in several storytelling events with the Central NH Storytelling Guild, including the annual Tellabration!
