Join us as architectural historian Alain Munkittrick presents images and stories from his new book, Historic Houses of the Connecticut River Valley (Arcadia, 2023).

Three years in the making, the book takes readers on a series of thematic historic tours along the river’s 410 miles, focusing on the homes of the businessmen, landowners, social reformers, and intellectuals who settled up and down the valley. Munkittrick’s process involved locating over 300 period images held by libraries and archives, some of which have never before been published online or in print.  His presentation will feature a few of the many stories he unearthed about each of the book’s 160 buildings and their inhabitants.

Alain Munkittrick, a professional architect, architectural historian, and advocate for historic preservation, lives in the Connecticut River Valley.

This event will be in-person at the Holyoke Public Library and on Zoom.  Free and open to the public. No pre-registration needed to attend in person.
