Plimoth Plantation invites the community to take part in a new lunch break alternative, with the second in a series of free noontime lectures held the first Thursday of every-other-month at Plimoth Plantation. The lively and informative, one-hour lectures are hosted by some of New England’s foremost historians, artists and educators, and are designed with enrichment in mind.
“I’m excited that Plimoth Plantation will be offering this new lunch-time lecture series,” said Courtney Roy-Branigan, Plimoth Plantation’s newly appointed associate director of development in charge of membership and volunteers. “We have a unique opportunity for compelling and engaging lectures thanks to the resources and dedication of Plimoth Plantation’s museum staff, volunteers, local historians and educators. With these great resources we can provide an important forum for local history lectures from many perspectives.”
Lunch & Learn participants are encouraged to pack a bag lunch, or purchase a meal at the Museum’s Patuxet Café, before settling in for an enlightening and fun presentation on a variety of topics, peppered with local flavor and historic significance.
Remaining Lunch & Learn lectures include:
Oct. 7
In a Dark, Dark Room – The Haunted History of New England, presented by Mark Jasper, author.
