Science & Stories: Book Event and Signing with Rye Historian Alex Herlihy

Join us for our new program series, Science & Stories, which will include special programs that bring our community together to share stories and information about marine and coastal science topics, as well as local history. These programs will feature a presentation by a guest speaker followed by a Q&A session where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions.
We’ll kick things off this month by featuring Alex Herlihy, Rye’s Town Historian, who will present his newly released book, Rye, New Hampshire: A Town at the Crossroads of American History (Published in 2025), and host a signing. The book explores Rye’s rich history from 17,000 years ago to the 20th century. Alex will share excerpts and host a signing, as well as be available to answer questions.
This program-lecture series is reserved for adults. Please reach out with questions.
