Lighthouses At The Library

Historian and author Jeremy D’Entremont will give March 29 talk on historic lighthouses in Boston Harbor

Join Jeremy D’Entremont as he discusses 300 years of lighthouse keepers and families in Boston Harbor. Living and working at a lighthouse was a special way of life that’s now passed into history with the advent of automation. D’Entremont’s illustrated talk – set for 2 to 4:30 p.m. March 29 in the Community Room of the Saugus Public Library – will feature firsthand accounts of life at America’s first lighthouse, Boston Light, as well as seven other historic stations, including Minots Light and Graves Light.
