In 1911 a doll is assembled from bits of clothing worn over the years by members of the Carroll family, gathering this family history into her creation. The doll, Lydia, is a gift for the newest member of the family, serving as keeper and narrator of the family history. Author Joan Grant will join Raney Bench to share her experience documenting the family history.
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.
