History Talks Take Place In The Southern Berkshires
Heather Kowalski is pleased to announce the public is once again welcome to attend a trio of
LIVE History Talk sessions that are scheduled for June 19th, July 10th and July 17th.
There is a on-line lecture taking place via ZOOM tonight (June 9th) as the museum presents a lecture entitled All That She Carried featuring author and Harvard University Professor,
Tiya Miles as she shares the story of Rose, an enslaved woman who passes along a sack of precious items to her daughter, Ashley as the gesture was presented as a token of love and ensuring her survival. These items have recently been archived as they also document the paths of their lives as this discussion also emphasizes the horrors of slavery plus a focus of the uncertain freedoms afterwards.

Rogers City resident Riconda Lamb is given a bandage from nurse Ann Lorenzi after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination at a clinic at the Alpena Mall in January.
ALPENA A crowd formed early at a Monday vaccination clinic at the Alpena Mall, where about 300 people had received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination by noon, according to health officials.
The vaccine requires two doses to be fully effective. It is currently open to health care workers, first responders, teachers and other child care workers, and those 65 and older.
In the first hour of Monday’s appointment-only clinic, a line of people waiting for shots snaked through the hallway and out the door of the mall, according to Matt Radocy, emergency preparedness coordinator for District Health Department No. 4.
