Join John and Betty Erkkila for a presentation of vintage images of Rockport’s “North Village”from their recently published photo book, Souvenirs of Pigeon Cove – 1850s to 1950s. The presentation will be followed by a book signing. This program is free for members or with Museum admission.

Souvenirs of Pigeon Cove contains over 250 vintage photos, ephemera, postcards and newspaper accounts sourced from the Sandy Bay Historical Museum, various family photo albums, and the authors’ own scrapbooks. At one time this “North Village” was the premier tourist destination in Rockport. Recalled are the granite enterprises and fishing trades, historical buildings and architecture, the iconic tool company, churches, hotels, schools, family life, fire apparatus and more.
