Voices from the Past: Memories of Noank in Days Gone By

JOIN US:  7:30 PM—WEDNESDAY, November 15, 2023

The Latham/Chester Store, 108 Main Street, Noank

One of the most incredible resources at the Sylvan Street Museum is the Noank Historical Society’s oral history collection.  The collection includes dozens of interviews and recordings from a generation of Noankers who are no longer with us, sharing their memories of Noank from days gone by.  Join us on November 15 to hear selections from this collection including stories about prohibition, the waterfront, the 1924 shipyard fire, Carson’s store, Noank’s early seafaring days and various Noank characters from Captain Adrian Lane, Jessie Carson Plumstead, Halstead Brown, Florence Oliver, Ben Rathbun, Mary Virginia Goodman and more.
