Pilgrim Hall Museum, located at 75 Court St., will offer a new series of evening lectures in October, featuring authors, local historians and even some historical music. Rockland Trust is the series sponsor. The lectures take place Wednesdays, with coffee and refreshments at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture at 7. A $5 donation per person is suggested.
Oct. 29: Stephen O’Neill, associate director/curator of Pilgrim Hall Museum, will present “Where the Bodies Are: Pilgrim Graves and Burying Grounds.” More than 200 people immigrated to Plymouth Colony between 1620 and 1623, yet only a very few of them have graves marked with original gravestones. This illustrated lecture will examine the possibilities of where most of the first settlers were buried.
