Creeque Alley Performs at Bird Park

Location: Francis William Bird Park - 135 Polley Lane

The acoustic folk-rock duo Creeque Alley, featuring regional musicians Dan Kirouac and Sean Fullerton, will bring their 1960s folk-rock presentation back to the music court at Francis William Bird Park in East Walpole on Sunday, September 14th, at 4:00 PM.

With a variety of guitars, harmonicas, and two-part vocal harmonies, CREEQUE ALLEY performs the songs and tells the stories behind them. It’s an entertaining and historical look at American folk music and folk rock of the decade.

The concert is sponsored by The Friends of Francis William Bird Park and the Trustees of Reservations. Refreshments will be sold to help benefit upkeep and maintenance of the park, and extra donations will be gladly accepted.

(This is a weather-permitting event only).

Library Lecture: The Walpole Hotel

Library Lecture: The Walpole Hotel

Walpole Public Library

The Walpole Hotel
A lecture by Betsey Dexter Dyer of the Walpole Historical Society

The Walpole Hotel was in existence for only 19 years (1873-1892) but what an impression it made. Nearly every week the Walpole Star printed the latest goings on: loud music, late night dance parties, moonlight sleigh ride groups, bicycle clubs, maybe some drinking (which was not illegal but some thought it ought to be) , definitely billiards and cigars.  Some citizens approved or at least enjoyed getting the latest gossip on the place. Others did not approve. The hotel cycled through eight landlords, a couple of them fired for excessive merriment.

This lecture will also include a discussion about how small town weekly newspapers operated at this time; the Walpole Hotel was exactly the sort of thing that sold papers and the two young editors who were hanging out at the hotel knew it. (There was not an actual newspaper office in Walpole.) If you wanted to drop off any news for the Walpole Star, you could find a box for your suggestions in the lobby of the Walpole Hotel.
