David Pierce, Vice President of the Sippican Historical Society, will present a lecture on the history of the Sippican Hotel and Casino, which stood in the heart of Marion Village during its Golden Age. The hotel had 200 rooms, and families from Boston, New York, and elsewhere would stay there for the entire summer. The building was eventually torn down in 1929. Pierce will discuss postcards and photographs from the Society’s archives and from Curator Pete Smith’s book, A Picture Postcard History of Marion, Massachusetts.
The lecture will be held at the Marion Music Hall on Thursday, August 25 at 7:00 pm. It is free and open to the public.
