Spend some time with "Henry Thoreau" portrayed by historian Richard Smith! Mr. Thoreau can come to your school, university, historical society, or library for a visit. Richard will be in character the entire time; ask Mr. Thoreau questions about his life and times, and enjoy readings from his essays and books. This is the perfect chance to experience Richard Smith's portrayal of Thoreau, which has been well received at Walden Pond, as well as all over the country at schools and libraries.

Richard has been involved in Living History for over 30 years. For almost 20 years he has studied the life of Henry Thoreau and since moving to Concord, Massachusetts in 1999 has successfully performed as Thoreau throughout New England and around the country to rave reviews.
