DESCRIPTION:Signup on Schedules Plus → \nPam Earle\, Ghost Stories of Historic Duxbury \nWednesday\, October 21 at 3:00 p.m.\nAfternoon tea\, no cost \nGhost Stories of Historic Duxbury is a tribute to the spirits that still echo through this historic town.

SUMMARY:Author Luncheon with Howard Mansfield\, Invisible Monuments
DESCRIPTION:Signup on Schedules Plus →\n \nHoward Mansfield\, Invisible Monuments\nMonday\, October 26 at 1:00 p.m.\nLuncheon $15.00 (Author talk is free) \nWe live in an era of monument building\, yet we don’t look at most of the monuments and memorials around us. They disappear from view. Think of all the mute memorials you may pass in a week that are unseen\, a blurred background to your daily commute: the green-mottled great man on his horse\, hosting only pigeons; the curious obelisk looking like a stunted Washington Monument; the historical marker crowded with so many words it looks like a warning label written by a cadre of liability lawyers. We bring our sense of history to the present\, otherwise the granite/marble/limestone/bronze before us will be mute. Some monuments do elicit a strong emotional response even after many decades. Why do these work\, when others don’t?
