Little did I know when I signed the visitor guestbook of the Dedham Historical Society over 50 years ago, that I would come back to work there after my retirement from teaching.
It’s been the opportunity of a lifetime researching and sharing some of Shiretown’s greatest tales with interested folks of all ages in my role as Museum Educator. Thanks for supporting Dedham history and this blog, and be on the lookout for new stories both here and on the Museum’s social media.
This is the back of the spiral bound sign-in notebook for student visitors. The graffiti certainly reflects the times. I know I did not commit this minor act of political protest- I was a rule follower and not particularly political. And I would have capitalized the president’s name- it’s a proper noun.
