On Saturday, January 11, from 11 a.m. -12:30 p.m.  Dale Monette of North Quabbin Photography will present “Quabbin, Then and Now.” Dale has taken Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) images from the Quabbin Reservoir archives taken in the mid 1930’s of the construction of the Quabbin Reservoir and recreated these photographs from the same location in present day settings. Come see how the houses and scenes looked during the construction period of the Quabbin compared to what it looks like now some 80 years later. Many never seen before images from the DCR Archives are included in this program. You will also see pictures of what everyday life was like living in the four Quabbin Valley towns that would soon be no more. Free and open to the public, but registration is requested. Please visit charltonlibrary.org (event calendar) to register.

Charlton Public Library is located at 40 Main Street in Charlton, Massachusetts. Additional parking available across Main Street at Town Hall.
