TOWNS UNDER WATER - THE QUABBIN RESERVOIR STORY

Author, historian and tour guide, Michael Tougias, will be the speaker. He has written books on topics ranging from history to humor and lead walking tours of Quabbin Reservoir and the trails to the lost towns. He will offer his slide show telling the story of lost towns, construction of the reservoir, impact on the wildlife and more. The reservoir built between  1930 and 1939, gave rise to the cities around Boston with seemingly endless thirst while burying under water towns and history miles away. Join us for this amazing true account.
