Join Eldredge Library director Amy Andreasson and Chatham Railroad Museum co-director Gil Sparks to explore the life and legacy of one of Chatham’s most prosperous and benevolent native sons, Marcellus Eldredge (1838-1898), whose local investment and philanthropy not only built the library but also catalysed the town’s transformation during the late 1800’s from fishing village to tourist destination. This program is part of the Library's celebration of Chatham History Month, sponsored by Historic Chatham and featuring special events at historic sites, museums and organizations across town. Registration is required for this in person program at the Library on Thursday, June 25 @ 5:00 pm. Walk-ins welcome but subject to availability.
