The Active Retirement Association (ARA) announces a General Meeting on Monday, March 18, 2024, from 2:00 – 3:30 PM, at the Durham Evangelical Church (lower level), 114 Dover Road (Route 108), Durham, NH. The featured speaker is popular historian and lecturer J. Dennis Robinson who will present, “Case Closed on the 1873 Smuttynose Ax Murders.” Robinson’s presentation is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities whose goal is to nurture the joy of learning and inspire community engagement by bringing life-enhancing ideas from the humanities to the people of New Hampshire.
For almost 150 years the moonlight ax murder of two Norwegian women on the rocky Isles of Shoals has haunted New England. Robinson cuts through the hoaxes, lies, rumors, and fiction surrounding the killings and will lay out the facts based on his book-length study, “Mystery on the Isles of Shoals.”
Light refreshments will be served. You are encouraged to bring non-perishable foods and personal care items to support area food pantries. Cash donations will also be accepted.
