The Great Boston Molasses Flood
presentation with Nancy A. Franks of FRANKly Speaking

Turn the calendar back to January 1919 and travel to Boston, Massachusetts.

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.
