Her speech inside the Rockingham to the Portsmouth Rotary, legend says, sparked the founding of Strawbery Banke. Vaughan, in fact, was among at least four prominent speakers who addressed Rotarians about historic preservation that year. She frequently noted in later years that this was her first talk to the all-male business group. Records indicate, however, that she also lectured to them on April 13, 1950. Born in 1904, Vaughan was an influential Portsmouth figure until her death in 2004. (NH Historical Society Collection)
