Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover Historical Society is meeting on Tuesday,
September 21st at the Phoenix Lodge at Hanover Four Corners.
Social hour begins at 6:00 p.m., a roast pork dinner with all the trimmings is
at 7:00 p.m., and the program begins at 8:00 p.m. Former President of the
Society Les Molyneaux will present his research on Dr. Lloyd Vernon
Briggs, author, historian and psychologist. Dr. Briggs summered in
Hanover at Broad Oak Farm most of his life, and is the person responsible for
saving the Stetson House in its current form. In 1927, he gave the house
to the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA – now
called Historic New England) and they maintained the property for 50
years until the Town of Hanover purchased the house in 1978. Les has done
a lot of research on Dr. Briggs, and we hope to have a good turnout for this
meeting. Cost of the dinner is $15.00 payable at the door that evening,
but reservations are necessary. Please contact Richard & Pauline
Rockwell at 781-826-1689 to reserve. You may attend just the program
portion at 8:00 p.m. at no cost and with no reservation.
On a separate, but related note, the Phoenix Lodge breakfast
scheduled for Sunday the 26th will be held from 8:00 a.m. –
12:00 noon. Sorry for the omission of the time in a previous e-mail.
