Discovering Boston’s Harbor Islands
7:00pm–Guest Speaker: Christopher Klein, author of “Discovering the Harbor Islands: A Guide to the City’s Hidden Shores.”The blockbuster movie Shutter Island was set on a fictitious island in Boston Harbor, but the true stories of the Boston Harbor Islands are even stranger than fiction. Join author Christopher Klein as he takes you on a virtual tour through the colorful history and natural beauty of one of our best-kept local secrets: the Boston Harbor Islands national park area. Hear tales of ghosts, shipwrecks, prisoners of war, and Revolutionary War battles that took place on these harbor islands, and get inspired to leave port and visit this urban oasis. Copies of the author’s books will be available for purchase. Refreshments. Framingham Public Library, Costin Room, 49 Lexington Street.
