The history of the John Brown House Museum remains vital and dynamic today! Join us for this month’s Gallery Night lecture to welcome Nathanael G. Herreshoff III and Henry A.L. Brown, descendants of the historic Herreshoff and Brown Francis families. They will speak about their experiences growing up in and researching their respective families. Mr. Herreshoff and his guest, genealogy researcher Marianne Healey-Wild, will divulge the latest information discovered about Karl Friedrich Herreshoff. Brown will discuss how he worked to clear the bad reputations of Karl Herreshoff and John Francis. Attention will also be given to the Mason-Eaton family line. This exciting night promises to be full of unique facts, anecdotes, memories, and perspectives. The presentation will last about an hour and both speakers will be available for questions afterwards.
