Eric Hurwitz’s Massachusetts Town Greens: A History of the State’s Common Centers
Monday, May 14th
11am, Library Assembly Room
The state of Massachusetts still has and continues to celebrate its town or village greens. These greens date back to Colonial times when they served as the centers for towns. Today, many town greens continue to be the center of town events, fairs, and other gatherings. Massachusetts Town Greens explores the history of these remarkable greens and provides a guide to current events. In addition to speaking about his book, Eric Hurwitz will present a PowerPoint slide show of beautiful photos of the town greens of Massachusetts.
Eric Hurwitz holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Suffolk University in Boston, MA and spent 20-plus years as a reporter, assistant editor, and public affairs specialist in the public and private sectors.
