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.
Marblehead on the Eve of Independence
Thursday, May 2 at 7PM
$10 Members / $15 Public
This illustrated talk by Judy Anderson will present a portrait of Marblehead at the peak of the town’s pre-Revolutionary prosperity, before social tensions and political divisions began to erupt. Judy will profile our gritty but thriving seaport in the two generations before the grueling struggle for independence.
As Britain’s colonies in North America stood on the brink of eight devastating years of Revolution, the thriving international Atlantic seaport of Marblehead, which had been the sixth most populous city in British North America, was a very different place than most people today assume or realize.
Join Judy as she reveals lesser known stories from a pivotal part of Marblehead’s history.
