A Remarkable Woman: Mrs Annie Cobb, Architect and Builder in the Late 1800s

Cobb, a Victorian woman of some means but with no traditional education, managed to develop skills as both an architect and builder in the newly emerging suburb of Newton Highlands. Come and learn about Mrs. Cobb, who is Massachusetts’ first woman architect, and her houses, which date from 1877 to 1903 from local resident Laura Fitzmaurice. Meet at the corner of Forest and Chester Streets. Free.

HISTORY BOOK CLUB
Thursday, September 23, 7:30 pm
Welcome For its next meeting, the Historic Newton Book Club has selected Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition by Daniel Okrent. In this authoritative history of America's most puzzling era, Okrent describes how the odd bedfellows of the anti-liquor forces – suffragettes, Klu Klux Klansmen, Boston puritans and rural sharecroppers, among others – succeeded in making Prohibition the law of the land by a lopsided legislative majority representing a demographic minority. Okrent tells the very entertaining and instructive history of the disastrous and unintended consequences of America's "noble experiment." The book club is free and open to all.

Interested in archaeology? The City of Newton has hired archaeologists to help locate areas in the City where archaeological sites may be present. They will discuss this archaeological survey and its goals, and request your help! Perhaps you found an artifact (pottery, stone tools, or other items) in your backyard while digging or know of a possible Native American or historic archaeological site. Come to this archaeological roadshow: see artifacts already found, share your information, and bring items for archaeologists to identify. We would love to hear from you and have the public's help in this project. Free.
