  • Thursday, December 10, 6:30 pm – Franklin Park Photohistory Book Signing

    Meet author Julie Arrison on Thursday, December 10, at 6:30 pm, as she talks about the research and issues she uncovered while researching, collecting photos, and writing the new Franklin Park book. She’ll sign copies which will be sold for $22.00 (great for holiday gifts), at the Franklin Park Golf Clubhouse, 1 Franklin Park Road, Dorchester.  Julie is talking about problems and solutions in park management and design over the course of the park’s 130 year history. You’ll learn about how city officials, the broader public, and the Olmsted and other design firms influenced the park’s different stages of development and growth. Not a straight history talk, but a discussion of issues that have many parallels today. Light refreshments will be served. Please  call 617-442-4141 to respond, or for more information.
