Drawing on the wealth of National Historic Landmark properties covered in their recent book, Historic New England: A Tour of the Region’s Top 100 National Landmarks, authors Patricia Harris and David Lyon will discuss and show photos of a dozen New England sites. They include the homes of authors Edith Wharton and Mark Twain, a submarine, a dazzling carousel, the snuff mill where America’s first great portrait painter was born, a landlocked steamship, and architect Philip Johnson’s iconic Glass House.
