The 2010 South Shore History Symposium
Summer Folk:
the Story of Tourism on the South Shore
Saturday, April 10th
Allerton Hall, The Church of the Pilgrimage,
8 Town Square, Plymouth
10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (Registration begins at 9 a.m.)
The South Shore has been a favorite destination for summer travelers for generations. Local historians will present a series of mini-lectures on the area's "summer folk," examining the delights of seaside visiting over the centuries and the rise of modern tourism in the region. Revisit the grand hotels that once adorned our coast, remember the summer estates of the wealthy, now many vanished, and rekindle memories of family vacations to South Shore beaches, ponds and woodlands. Sponsored by the Backroads of the South Shore, a local consortium of small historical societies and museums.
$15.00 admission includes breakfast refreshments.
