In partnership with the Council on Aging and the Eastham Historical Society: Connecting Memories.
Archivist, Marca Daley presents “What’s in a Name?”
September 26, 2024 at the COA
Where were the Half Ponds of Eastham, and why were they so named? What do Depot Road and Railroad Avenue have in common? Who was Jeremiah, and why was his gutter important? And what’s so ‘Great’ about ‘Enoch’ and ‘Doane’?
In this illustrated talk, Marca explores Eastham’s landmarks, explaining the origins, meanings, and changes in their names over time. Come prepared to share your memories, stories, and pictures! Members are encouraged to bring relics and personal stories.
