Join us for this month’s Coffee & Conversation as we get to know Lucy Larcom beyond her writing, and reclaim her story right here in Beverly.

In the mid-1800s, Lucy Larcom was an unusual woman: she supported herself through teaching, writing, and editing at a time when few women worked outside the home, and even fewer gained national notice. Before she became a published author, Larcom was a person, quietly independent, self-directed, and determined to shape her own life. Yet that part of her story is often overlooked.

Many people associate Larcom with Lowell, from Lucy Larcom Park to her well-known connections there. But did you know Lucy Larcom was born in Beverly? Over Coffee & Conversation, we’ll explore her life beyond the page and reflect on what her independence meant in her own time and what it can still mean today.

Come curious, bring a friend, and meet Lucy Larcom beyond her words.

Coffee & Conversation are held every second Friday at 10:00 am at the Cabot House
Admission is free; $5 suggested donation. Coffee provided by https://www.beantrustcoffee.com/
