Meet the authors of
"Abandoned Asylums of Massachusetts"
Saturday, May 7th from 1-3 PM
All attendees have a chance to win a signed, matted print from the book!
Abandoned Asylums of Massachusetts is the latest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s newest series Images of Modern America. The book is by local authors Tammy Rebello and L. F. Blanchard and features full colored images.
This collection of photographs, history, and firsthand accounts gives readers a glimpse at the roots of mental health. These vignettes are born of the personal stories of those who worked at these facilities, those who were institutionalized, and their families. The authors took the time to listen to their stories and endeavored to understand their pasts and recognize how these events continue to influence the mental health industry today. Pictured throughout are the physical relics of the places—the now largely abandoned asylums—where these stories unfurled.
