Lord Timothy Dexter was a prominent citizen of Newburyport who was well-known for his many eccentricities. People are still debating whether he amassed his fortune by being an extremely shrewd businessman or if he was just plain lucky.
Jim McAllister of Derby Square Tours will appear at Reading Public Library’s LiveWires Coffee & More program series on Tuesday, February 14 at 10 a.m. to tell stories about Lord Timothy Dexter and other colorful characters from our region’s history.
An author, photography, teacher, historian and tour guide, Jim McAllister will also present visuals which bring to life Dexter, the residents of Dogtown and other local oddities. In honor of Valentine’s Day, he will also relate some fun local romance stories in keeping with the home-grown theme.
