Monday, 5/20 – Music for a Spring Evening with the Ford Middle School Chorus, 6 pm
Wednesday, 5/22 – Author Talk: Ann B. Parson 6 pm. The Acushnet Public Library welcomes Ann B. Parson to share her latest book The Birds of Dog: An Historical Novel Based on Mostly True Events. The Birds of Dog opens in the early days of the Boston Society of Natural History and simmers with remarkable lost stories about America’s emerging fields of science and its first scientists. Catharine Pickering, a curator’s assistant, finds herself increasingly drawn to Nature’s treasures, especially birds, and more and more opposed to the “kill-and-collect” methods of hunters.
When she meets James Cutting, a brilliant inventor whose discovery leads to the world’s first public aquarium, she finds a kindred soul.
The Boston Society of Natural History eventually evolved into Boston’s Museum of Science.
