ATHOL — An hour-long visual lecture and show on The Roaring ‘20s will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5.
Christopher Daley, an historian and author, will showcase 1920s world and national political events, Prohibition, organized crime, and style, fashion, and trends of the Jazz Age.
The Athol Historical Society is sponsoring the program. The public program will take place with admission at no charge at the historical society building at 1307 Main St.
“The 1920s were really the first decade of the 20th century,” said Daley. “During this decade, many conventions of the Victorian Era were left behind as modernism emerged.”
A teacher of history in Silver Lake Regional School System in Kingston, Daley recently released his book, “Murder and Mayhem in Boston: Historic Crimes in the Hub.”
