Most accounts of Amelia Earhart's life barely mention her wedding, except to say she got married—reluctantly. The 2009 movie "Amelia," starring Hilary Swank, shows her getting married outside, despite the early February date. Excerpt from Amelia Earhart Was Married Here: Mary Anderson, Curator of the Noank Historical Society, confirmed what my breakfast companion Barbara told me—that Earhart was secretly married in a simple civil ceremony in the square, flat-roofed house I found on Church Street. Learning I was including this information in a book about the area, Mary said, "You tell everybody that the wedding scene portrayed in the movie [Amelia] is inaccurate. My husband's grandfather, the Groton probate judge, performed the ceremony, and my father-in-law, Robert Anderson, a young Noank lawyer at the time, attended as a witness. When the judge congratulated her after the ceremony, calling her Mrs. Putnam, she replied, 'Please sir, I prefer Miss Earhart.'" Author's Note: This e-booklet, Amelia Earhart Was Married Here, is an excerpt from the book, Mystic Seafarer's Trail. If you already purchased the Mystic Seafarer’s Trail, you do not need to purchase Amelia Earhart Was Married Here. You may, however, wish to purchase Mystic Seafarer's Trail instead to better understand the seacoast area she visited more than once.
