Event Details

Meet the Authors!
Christopher Klein, Discovering the Boston Harbor Islands

The blockbuster movie “Shutter Island” was set on a fictitious island in Boston Harbor, but the true stories of the 34 Boston Harbor Islands are even stranger than fiction.

Join Christopher Klein, author of Discovering the Boston Harbor Islands, as he takes you on a virtual tour through the colorful history and natural beauty of one of our best-kept local secrets during our first "Meet the Authors" series, presented in collaboration with Old South Meeting House.  Hear tales of ghosts, shipwrecks, prisoners of war, and Revolutionary War battles that took place on “the real Shutter Islands” and get inspired to leave port and visit this urban oasis.

Admission is free for Boston Preservation Alliance and Old South Meeting House members; $10 for non-members.

For more information, please email Christine Piontek or call 617-367-2458.

Boston Preservation Alliance & Old South Meeting House



Boston Preservation Alliance
The Boston Preservation Alliance is a nonprofit organization that protects and improves the quality of Boston’s distinct architectural heritage. Through advocacy and education, we bring people and organizations together to influence the future of Boston’s historic buildings, landscapes and communities.

Old South Meeting House
In 1877 the Old South Association was established to preserve the Old South Meeting House for future generations. The mission of the Old South Association is to preserve the Old South Meeting House and its history as inspiring symbols of free speech and democratic ideals; to sustain its tradition as an active community meeting place for the free exchange of ideas; and to provide a place where people can connect with issues of the past and today through programs and exhibits. The mission is to preserve this remarkable building and ensure that it is actively used as a museum and vital gathering place in the city of Boston.
