Mountain Summers: June Hammond Rowan

Mountain Summers:  What was it like to visit the White Mountains in the late 1800s, and what did the women visitors do when they came here? Mountain Summers reveals the personal and adventurous experiences of four fascinating women visiting and exploring the region. They worked on developing new trails, collecting plant specimens, and discovering new places. Their endeavors took them deep into the woods, through the krummholz, and up onto the summits where they would often spend hours recording details about their climbs and the resultant views. Come hear their adventures from the firsthand accounts preserved in this rare collection. This presentation is free and open to all.
