We have two exciting brown-bag lunches scheduled this week:

On Wednesday, 22 July, research fellow Katy Meier will discuss her project, “‘Under the Surge of the Blue’: Environmental Effects on Civil War Soldiers’ Mental and Physical Health in Virginia, 1862.” The brown-bag will run from 12-1 in the Dowse Library.

On Friday, 24 July, former MHS staff member and current Historic New England site manager Julie Arrison will discuss her new book, Franklin Park, part of the Images of America series. The brown-bag will run from 12-1 in the Red Room.
