Join us at the Monson Free Library for an exciting presentation with Sally Snowman lighthouse keeper and USCG Boston Light historian! Boston Light – the first established Light Station in colonial America – began lighting the way for safe navigation into the fledgling maritime port of Boston in 1716. The Fresnel Lens in the lantern room and fog signal apparatus situated on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor continues as an active Coast Guard maintained aid-to-navigation, today. However, its notoriety in the maritime community as the “the last manned Coast Guard Light Station” in the country is coming to closure with the retirement of Sally Snowman, its 70th keeper.   Join us for a presentation of Boston Light’s 307 years of history and few photo anecdotes of Sally’s experiences as a 21st Century Keeper.   Sally Snowman, Ph.D., Keeper of Boston Light 2003-2023, is an educator, author, and the USCG Boston Light historian - retired. Husband, Jay Thomson and Sally have co-authored two books: “Boston Light - A historical perspective” (1999) and “Boston Light - Arcadia Images of America” (2016); and “Sammy the Boston Lighthouse Dog” written for children by Sally (2005).
