EVENT
Waterworks Wednesday Book Club
October 3, 2018
1:30 PM–2:30 PM
The Waterworks Wednesday Book Club invites you to meet author Chaim Rosenberg and join a lively discussion of his book The Great Workshop: Boston’s Victorian Age.
Bring your coffee and your curiosity, and meet in the Overlook Gallery at 1:30pm ready to chat!
Before the automobile age, when Americans lived close to their families and walked to work, the communities that eventually became metropolitan Boston were busy forging the nation’s industrial future in local mills and factories. The Great Workshop examines the growth of these towns and illustrates a time when Boston was on the cutting edge of a new culture, when its optimistic residents saw themselves as the “hub of the universe,” actively building a better world.
