Sports and Leisure Tour
Saturday, April 27 at 10am
Saturday, May 4 at 10am
$15 Members / $20 Public
Join Jarrett Zeman for a new walking tour on the history of sports and leisure in Marblehead.
You’ll learn how popular sports and leisure activities began, from baseball and boxing to bicycling, billiards, movies, roller skating, drinking and more. You’ll discover how Marblehead became a leisure mecca as we explore the colorful characters who called our town home from 1865-1965.
Sports and leisure haven’t always been fun and games --- the meaning of sports has always been contested. Who gets to participate? When does leisure become vice? Should Sunday be reserved for religious devotion, or is it the best day to have fun? Headers have been fighting about these questions for centuries.
