Throughout his two decades of involvement with local history, Jim McAllister has been a relentless pursuer of the odd or little known fact, the colorful character, the unusual place or event. In his entertaining one-hour lecture
"Local Color", Jim shares some of his favorite North Shore tidbits, many
relating to Cape Ann from his years of research. The talk will feature stories culled from the annals of the Salem Witch Trials and local maritime lore, brief sketches of true local characters, and other fascinating facts drawn from the worlds of local culture, government, religion, and even sports.
