- December 2, 2009 @ 7PM-
The Watertown Free Public Library, & the Historical Society of Watertown
present a talk and slide show on
Watertown’s Natural Landscape:
a Hidden History
by Marilynne K. Roach
an exploration of
the past and present water and landforms within the 4.1 square miles of our thickly settled community (which wasn’t
named Watertown for nothing).
The talk is based on Roach’s booklet Watertown’s Natural Landscape:
an Introductory Atlas which was published with the help of a generous grant from the Watertown Community Foundation. A
signing follows the talk.
Marilynne Roach,
local writer, illustrator and historian is a member of the Watertown Historical Commission and the Historical Society of Watertown.
She is the author of eight books including The Salem Witch Trials: a Day-by-Day Chronicle
of a Community Under Siege and contributed as an associate editor to The Records
of the Salem Witch-Hunt.
