March 4. Linden Place Mansion Presents: Coffee and Conversations in the Carriage House – The Voyage of Nor’West John D’Wolf
Bristol resident DeWolf Fulton will share stories and images about the extraordinary voyage of Nor’west John D’Wolf who circumnavigated the globe by land and by sea. The total voyage took over four years and included a long trek over Siberia from the Aleutian Islands to Moscow and St. Petersburg.
One fascinating tale is that of a whale – which ended up in Herman Melville’s book, Moby Dick.
The presentation is about 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Question and Answer period, and then time to enjoy community conversation.
The event will take place in the Carriage House on Friday, March 4, 2022, at 10 am. Because Linden Place is committed to the safety and wellness of our visitors and guests, proof of vaccination will be required to attend this indoor event. We will keep the audience small so that social distancing protocols can be followed as well.
Tickets are $20 per person for non-members and free for Linden Place members.
