Join DHS for an illustrated lecture by Anthony M. Sammarco, author of “Lost Boston.” The book is the story of some of Boston’s once well-known institutions that were demolished, lost to fire, or neglect. Learn about the Readville Trotting Park, the Boston Garden, the City Point Aquarium, Jordan Marsh Department Store, as well as the Parker House, Tremont House and Hotel Pelham.
The May program is also the Dorchester Historical Society’s annual meeting, which includes an election of members to the DHS board of directors.
