Join lovers of Cape Ann’s unique landscape for an entertaining evening of “Quarry Stories” brought to life by ten exceptional presenters, who will share recollections of the vivid scenery, hard lives, daily adventures, and creative spirit of a bygone era, defined by granite and the sea.

Martha Fox, Rosalie Hughes, Monica Lawton, Chris Leahy, Peter Littlefield, Theo MacGregor, Susanna Natti, Gerard Roy, and George Sibley will look back, through readings from a variety of sources, on the profound impact of the granite-quarry industry on lives and landscapes at the tip of Cape Ann.

The evening will conclude with a talk and slideshow by local historian Leslie Bartlett, “Cape Ann Women in the Quarries.”

Advance registration required.
