Please note that the library closes early at 3:45PM on Wednesday, 26 August.

On Tuesday, 25 August, we have a Brown Bag lunch talk taking place at noon. Join us to hear Sean Munger of the University of Oregon as he presents “Journaling the Skies: New England’s Weather Diarists, 1810-1820.” This talk is free and open to the public. Pack a lunch and stop by!

Also on tap this week is the History and Collections of the MHS. Stop by on Saturday, 29 August, at 10:00AM for this 90-minute, docent-led tour, and learn about the history of the Society as well as the architecture of the building and the art and collections housed within. No reservations required for individuals or small groups, but parties of 8 or more should contact Curator of Art Anne Bentley in advance, at abentley@masshist.org or 617-646-0508.
