The Important Role of Nobska Light in “A Home in Woods Hole: Life and History on Eel Pond”The house at the center of Elizabeth Heslop Sheehy’s A Home in Woods House: Life and History on Eel Pond was built by a former resident of Nobska Point. Walter Nickerson was the son of Oliver Nickerson, longest-serving keeper at the iconic lighthouse. His older and younger brothers both played roles in Nobska’s history, as well as his youngest sister, Florence. Their stories include a murder trial, many boating adventures and a scandalous marriage betrayal. The author will highlight some of the stories that link her house on Millfield Street to the beautifully restored Keeper’s House at the heart of Woods Hole.$20 Non-Members/$10 Museums on the Green Members, or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served.

You’ll be nourished with a beautiful lunch, afternoon tea, and a thoughtfully curated gift bag filled with local love.
