New England Heritage Conference: Step Back in Time to 1918
August 25, 2018 to August 28 or September 1, 2018
Explore what life was like a century ago in New England. The “war to end all wars” drew to a close while the Spanish flu pandemic swept the globe. Suffrage and the notion of prohibition dominated parlor conversation. Breakfast cereal and electric streetcars were all the rage and New England sat on the verge of the Roaring 20’s. Spend summer days turning back the clock with activities, speakers and workshops that highlight a century past. Settle into a rocking chair on the porch of the historic Oceanic Hotel gazing out to sea. Join the candlelit procession to the 200 year old chapel on the hill. Be enriched and enchanted at the 2018 New England Heritage conference.
