If you are interested in joining us for a virtual book discussion, please email: director@natickhistoricalsociety.org.

Everyone is welcome to join a discussion of The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics (2014) by Daniel James Brown.


The #1 New York Times -bestselling story about the American Olympic rowing triumph in Nazi Germany--from the author of Facing the Mountain. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times--the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

This program is co-sponsored with the Bacon Free Library. It is FREE and open to the public.
