Join us every second Saturday of the month at 1pm to learn more about area and industrial history, engineering, archeology, water access and more from experts in a variety of fields.

On November 8th, Paul Marrone, forensic engineer and archival photojournalist, will apply his expertise as a retired civil engineer to recreating the untold stories of the communities lost by the construction of the Wachusett Reservoir.

This presentation will focus on the town center of West Boylston, including its schools, town hall, churches, and even a factory village.

All events are upstairs in the Overlook Gallery.

The presentations are free and open to everyone, including walk-in visitors, space permitting.

Please help us monitor capacity by reserving your FREE tickets in advance.
