The Swift River Valley holds many stories of strength and hope in which women are at the heart.
Join DCR Quabbin staff member Nancy Huntington as she introduces us to some of these great and often surprising ladies whose lives have left an indelible mark on the Valley, and in some cases, the nation.

Oral histories by Pelham residents and local news clippings provide vivid accounts of past rural life, including misfortunes. Hear an account of a Pelham school fire in the firsthand words of its accidental perpetrator; learn of a tragic family dispute; and find out about several weather-related aftermaths in Pelham.
These events help us to understand how our forebears dealt with tragedies and difficulties.
A discussion will follow in which you are encouraged to share stories about hardships in Pelham.
