Description:
On a hot July day in 1891, 4 wealthy women set off for 10 days of "roughing it" on Great Brewster Island and kept a diary of their summer adventure on their "enchanted isle." Now in the collection of the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University, the diary is a window into the lives of 19th Century women and a snapshot of a time when the Harbor Islands played a prominent role in the lives of Boston-area residents. Author Stephanie Schorow introduces us to the "Scribe, Autocrat, Aristocrat and Acrobat" and their delightful get away. $5; Free for Old South Meeting House members
