Join us to learn about Sherborn's own rural garden cemetery, where we'll share some true accounts about a handful of our yesteryear neighbors now at rest. The dead can still tell stories, some spooky, others heroic; all are interesting! Dowse apple cider and donuts courtesy of the Sherborn Historical Society. Sunday, October 26th, 12 - 1:15 PM, starting at the cemetery's gazebo.

The Great Abolitionist Charles Sumner with Author Stephen Puleo

Sherborn Library 4 Sanger Street, Sherborn

Join us for an exciting evening with Stephen Puleo, author, historian, teacher, public speaker and communications professional. He is the author of eight books, including his most recent, The Great Abolitionist: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union, published by St. Martin's Press in April, 2024. The Great Abolitionist tells the story of one of the most influential non-presidents in American history (included in this exclusive club were Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Susan B. Anthony, and Martin Luther King, Jr.) – and far more influential than many presidents – a leader who exhibited true courage and authenticity.
