Taken By Storm: The 1938 Hurricane At Gilmanton Historical Society
September 26
“Taken by Storm” the 1938 Hurricane will be the topic at the
Gilmanton Historical Society on Tuesday, September 26, at Old Town
Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works
The
Gilmanton Historical Society will offer a program on the great
hurricane of 1938 on Tuesday evening, September 26, 7:30 pm, at Old
Town Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works. The topic is especially timely
given this year’s rash of storms affecting the southern US. Social
hour and refreshments begin at 7 pm and the program begins promptly
at 7:30. The Society’s museum, in the basement of Old Town Hall,
will be open at 7 pm.
Lourdes
Aviles, Professor of Meteorology at Plymouth State University will
discuss the 1938 hurricane and the devastating effects it had on New
England. She has written a book, Taken By Storm, 1938, on the
subject.
The
Society’s Museum in Old Town Hall is open every 2nd and 4th Saturday
morning, 10 am to noon, September through May. The programs are free
and open to the public. Donations to support the work of the
Society are always welcome.
