First Friday Chester Art Stroll includes book signing and talk with author Claire Smith at the Chester House
Join us for a book talk and book-signing with author Claire Smith and hear about THE CHESTER HOUSE
(now the Leif Nilsson Spring Street Studio and Gallery) at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, an eventful, colorful time in Chester, when:
· The Chester House was a hotel with tavern on the bottom floor,
· Chester was in controversy over whether to be a wet or dry town,
· The Temperance (Curb the drinking!) Movement was brewing,
· The Women’s Suffrage (Let Women Vote!) Movement was gaining steam,
· A fire destroyed the top floor of the Chester House.
Claire Smith will read from her newest book, Georgiana, Like So Many, which includes sections on Chester and the Chester House, drawn from century-old town records, newspapers, and documents.
