In 1906 Lucy Dodge moved to Mount Desert Rock with her nephew and husband, who was the Second Assistant Keeper of the light. During her time there she photographed the day-to-day lives of the residents of “The Rock.” Libby Bischof, Executive Director of the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education, will share her observations and research into this collection and the woman who made it.
Chebacco Chats, our weekly web series, features authors, historians, and others who study and celebrate history, the great place that is Mount Desert Island, and the way the island impacts the wider world.
The Chats are live on Zoom, and recordings are made available the week after they air.
