Lifelong Learning Class

 w/ Bob Jackman will examine the changes that transpired as Scituate went from a rural farming and mossing town utilizing hand tools to an outer suburban extensively dependent upon machinery.   We will draw extensively on documentation from compiled both within Scituate and at the state and federal level to trace patterns of change in employment, housing land management, education, and the redefinition of villages.  We will also look at diaries to get a flavor of life during these years. At times the program will expand from a discussion of matters in Scituate to the wider views of the South Shore, state, and nation.  Powerpoint slides and discussion among the group.
