HISTORY BOOK CLUB MEETING
This month’s book selection is Choosing War: The Lost Chance for Peace and the Escalation of War in Vietnam by Fredrik Logevall. Recognized as a major work and a touchstone for any future discussion of the origins of America’s military escalation in Vietnam, the book exploits a wide array of new sources to explore America’s Vietnam policy. Well written and accessible, it cogently and systematically undermines the argument that America’s military escalation in Vietnam was in any way inevitable or necessary. The book club is free and open to all, new members are welcome.

Starting in May, enjoy “Sneak Peaks” of the new Durant-Kenrick House and Grounds: Thursdays and Saturdays, 2-5 PM. See the results of the building restoration, explore life in the different time periods and try out our games. Your input now will help shape the future of this museum!

The Jackson Homestead and Museum is open from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM Tuesday through Friday, and Noon to 5:00 PM Saturday and Sunday.
If you need special assistance, please call 617-796-1450.
