Just in time to help us celebrate Halloween, the library will host a fascinating speaker. Jeremy D'Entremont is considered a leading expert on New England's historic lighthouses. He is the author of more than 20 books on the subject, including The Lighthouses of New England, The Lighthouse Handbook: New England, and Ocean-Born Mary: The Truth Behind a New Hampshire Legend. Lighthouses are picturesque icons that remind us of our rich maritime history, but they also have a dark side. Lighthouses and ghost stories often seem to go hand in hand, as confirmed by the many horror stories and movies that have utilized lighthouses as their settings. This presentation will focus on some of the macabre tales of NE's coastal beacons, including the lovelorn spirit know as "Ernie" at Connecticut's New London Ledge and the piano playing ghost of Maine's Seguin Island Light. Please come to this free program to learn compelling facts about ghosts and their haunts here in New England. Light refreshments will be served and this program is sponsored by The Friends of the Milton Public Library. Call Jean Hlady at (617) 698-5757 for more information.
