The Woburn Historical Society is
pleased to announce its lineup of programs for the next several months.
During February and March, a Military Exhibit featuring photos, artifacts and memorabilia will be featured at the Burdett Mansion, home of the Woburn Historical Society located at 7 Mishawum Road. The exhibit will continue to be open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and on Saturday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to Noon.
During the open house, Kathy Lucero will
be accepting
applications from war veterans, or family members of a war veteran, who would
like their name to be added on the new War Memorial on Woburn Common. The Military
Exhibit will run through March 31.
In an effort to make parking easier for its members, the Society's programs in March and April will be held on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. On March 25th, well-known radio talk show host, columnist and author, Howie Carr, will speak at the high school auditorium. He will detail the history of Boston's underworld, including that of Whitey Bulger, probably the area's most notorious underworld figure.
On Sunday, April 22nd, at 6:00 p.m., the
Society’s program presentation will detail the history of the Choate Hospital
and the many doctors and nurses who worked there over the years. Program
Director Kathy Lucero is still seeking pictures, records and any other
artifacts that can be featured during the presentation. She would also
like to talk to anyone who worked at Choate Hospital in the old days or until
it’s closing in 1989. Anyone with Choate
Hospital mementos or anyone who worked there can call the Society headquarters
at 781-933-5002.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We are planning a program on the Choate Hospital for April and need pictures, artifacts and memorabilia about the doctors, nurses and other employees who worked at the Choate.
Please call the Society office at (781) 933-5002 and leave a message for Kathy Lucero. Thanks...your support is what makes our programs so great!
The Woburn Historical Society's Board of Directors has approved a motion to name the conference room at the Burdett Mansion in honor of the late Woburn historian John McElhiney. It is now the John D. McElhiney conference room. A nicely framed portrait of John now hangs on the wall.
