Panel explores the Hurricane of 1938 at the Kate on June 6
The Katharine Hepburn Museum and Risk Strategies–Gowrie Group present “The Hurricane of 1938: The Science and The Stories,” a Katharine Hepburn Museum Talk on Tuesday, June 6, 2023 at 7:00 pm.
On September 21, 1938, a massive hurricane tore through New England leaving in its path a shocking swath of destruction and lost lives. The Hepburn family’s original cottage in Fenwick, a borough of Old Saybrook, was completely destroyed and washed away. Katharine Hepburn included an account of that day and the loss of the family home in her autobiography, Me: Stories of My Life.
This special program will explore the impact of the storm from inception to landfall. NBC 30 Chief Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan will present the science of the storm and its path toward New England; Chris Wisniewski, author of The Hurricane of 1938: Memories of the Storm of the Century, shares memories from survivors; and writer Tom Verde speaks of his family’s tragic loss. Questions from the audience will be entertained following the presentations.
This program is presented by Risk Strategies–Gowrie Group. Now a subsidiary of Risk Strategies, Gowrie Group has been a sponsor and partner of the Kate since 2016.
