What does the name โ€œIOKAโ€ mean? Where were the secret tunnels? Was The Addams Family filmed in Exeter? Local historians often have to confront the unofficial history of their community. Untangling truth from fiction, when there are sometimes vocal stakeholders involved, can be quite a challenge. How can we tell what is real versus what is believed to be real? This program explores some strange stories, long-held beliefs and flat-out urban legends from the town of Exeter, in an effort to explain how they start, spread and stick. Join Exeter local historian, Barbara Rimkunas, as she tries to find the truth without ruining everyoneโ€™s childhood. Perhaps there are some real stories out there just odd enough to replace the fiction?
The event will be held at the Exeter Town Hall, 9 Front Street, Exeter. If you cannot join us in person, you may watch here, on our Facebook page, or on Zoom or Channel 6. Check our website for the Zoom registration link.
