Last night the G.A.R. Hall was filled with memories and with love of place as the opening night of the “LIFE Comes to Scituate” photographic exhibit got under way.
In 1938 LIFE Magazine sent Hansel Mieth to Scituate to photograph a town meeting, a uniquely New England form of government. Mieth turned her lens on the town itself as well and captured moments in time in the process. The photographs were never published and remained largely forgotten until recently, when they were discovered amongst the Historical Society‘s holdings.
LIFE Comes to Scituate is on exhibit all week long at the G.A.R. Hall in Scituate and is well worth the visit for anyone who loves photography, history, Scituate or all three. 😉
Thanks, Ali!
