The Great Boston Molasses Flood
Wednesday, August 20 at 11:00 a.m. Community Rooms AB
Turn the calendar back to January 1919 and travel to Boston, Massachusetts.
We are excited to welcome back Nancy Franks of FRANKly Speaking, and journey with her to this important piece of Massachusetts history.
Explore the city before, during, and after a steel tank ruptured, releasing two million gallons of molasses into a vibrant North End neighborhood. Mourn the victims and celebrate the survivors.
In this presentation, you’ll view primary source documents that very few people have seen.
A molasses themed raffle will follow the presentation.

August 2025 – “Beatles Photomania” Showcase
The images in this exhibit are culled from a collection of over 30,00 that were taken over the past 17 years.
To tie these images together, Maureen chose songs by the Beatles to accompany each photograph.
