About this Event

On August 11, 1834, an Ursuline Convent on Mt. Benedict, in what is now Somerville, was vandalized and then burned to the ground by an anti-Catholic mob. Author and Salem State Professor Nancy Schultz will explore the tensions over class, gender, religion, ethnicity, and education that fueled the convent's destruction.

Tickets include one drink from Aeronaut Brewing!
