Join historian Robert Kelley, in partnership with Sturgis Library and BLT, for a special talk on Cape Cod's Saltworks, a major industry at one time.  Thoreau thought the "low, turtle-like roofs, and their slighter windmills, were novel and interesting objects to an inlander." Learn about the dynamics of salt exports to America in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the development, expansion and decline of the industry in Barnstable County. This program is associated with BLT's Thoreau's Cape Cod Readathon, a 2-day live event sponsored by Rockland Trust to be held at Fuller Farm in Marstons Mills on October 7 & 8.
