Poets and writers have long been inspired by the beauty of the Nahant coastline. Join us as we celebrate Nahant's literary past with a special walking tour led by Ken Turino of Historic New England and Chris Mathias, past president of the Nahant Historical Society and coauthor of Nahant Revisited. The tour will stop at scenic places associated with such literary luminaries as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sylvia Plath--and, of course, summer resident Charlie Gibson. Excerpts from their work will be highlighted.


Expect a leisurely stroll lasting approximately 2½ hours. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes! 


Registration is limited to 15. Directions will be sent with confirmation.
