June 7: EB Museum & Historical Society Launches Speaker Event: Master Storyteller John Christoforo of the Post Gazette to speak
(EAST BOSTON May 12, 2016)--The organizers of the East Boston Museum & Historical Society will launch a Speaker Series from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 7, at the Maverick Meeting House, 31 Liverpool Street, East Boston.
A master storyteller, Christoforo captives audiences weekly throughout the United States with his column, Nanna & Babbononno, which depicts the trials and tribulations of four generations of his family in the United States.
Christoforo will take you on a journey back in time to East Boston in the 1940s and 50s. He will share childhood stories that all ages and backgrounds will enjoy. It is a time of mom and pop stores, the Gem and Seville Theatres, Lombardo’s meat market, Gertie's Lunch, Sabo’s Men’s Store, Fine’s Men’s Shop, the 5 and 10, Goldenberg’s Department Store, Manny’s Men’s Store, John Sava's Market, Benbrock Pharmacy, and so much more!
The event is free and is open to the public.
Establishing a museum that celebrates the rich and diverse history of East Boston has been a dream for residents for years. East Boston’s historical significance ranges from its days as home to master shipbuilder Donald McKay, who built some of the world’s fastest clipper ships to its status as the second-busiest port of entry for immigrants.
While the board of the East Boston Museum project searches for a permanent location, it is looking at several temporary options. However, events such as the Guest Speaker Series allows visitors to see the museum’s potential.
