The Boston Marriages of Blue Hill In-Person
Throughout its history, Blue Hill has been home to a great number of "Boston Marriages," where two financially independent women lived together, often romantically involved. In celebration of Pride Month, the Blue Hill Library and Blue Hill Peninsula Pride will co-sponsor a talk highlighting the lives of three such couples on Monday, June 10th at 6:30 PM in the library's Howard Room. Hannah Cyrus and Ann Boudreaux will share stories from the relationships between Adelaide Pearson & Laura Paddock, philanthropists and world travelers; Lynn Thompson and Dorothy Chester Heywood, artists and businesswomen; and Mary Ellen Chase and Eleanor Duckett, writers and historians. Each female couple made a substantial impact on the town of Blue Hill and it's residents.
