Scituate's Cultural Change 1885 to 1935  w/ Bob Jackman will follow patterns of cultural change that took place during a crucial fifty year period that permanently altered the community.  Some institutions that had been at the core of the community such as the churches, schools, and town government emerged in radically altered forms.  Some new institutions drew strong support from summer residents such as the Glades Association, the Hatherly Club, and Scituate Yacht Club.  The community also was restructured by developments such as the new North River mouth, the dredging of outer Scituate Harbor, the telephone, electricity, and the automobile.
