On August 11, 1834, an Ursuline Convent on Mt. Benedict, in what is now Somerville, was vandalized and then burned to the ground by an anti-Catholic mob. Author and Salem State Professor Emeritus Nancy Schultz will explore the tensions over class, gender, religion, ethnicity, and education that fueled the convent's destruction.
Tickets are $12 and include one drink from Aeronaut Brewing!

Alongside our commitment to creative brewing, we’ve always prioritized community.
Since our inception, we’ve partnered with and featured countless local artists on our beer labels, welcomed resident musicians into our taprooms and worked with so many incredible local entrepreneurs and organizations.
