SUMMARY:The History of the Steamboat Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stonington Free Library and the Stonington Historical Society on\nSunday\, March 13 th at 5 p.m. for a free presentation on the history of the Steamboat Hotel. Stuart Vyse\, a\na retired psychology professor who taught at Connecticut College\, Providence College\, and the University\nof Rhode Island\, will present the talk. \nVyse\, an accomplished writer and an expert on superstition and irrational behavior\, began researching\nthe building he lives in\, the former Steamboat Hotel\, as “something of a pandemic side gig.” Built by\nGilbert Wheeler before 1840\, the Steamboat Hotel has witnessed almost 200 years of Stonington's\nhistory. From the early days of the railroad and steamship lines\, it has hosted intemperate railroad\nworkers\, immigrants\, businessmen\, dignitaries\, families\, and war veterans. \nVyse calls his research “a labor of love and a gift to the village that has been my home for over 20\nyears.” He is working on a manuscript of the history of the Steamboat Hotel and guests will be able to\npre-order copies of his forthcoming book. \nThe presentation is free for all and is a hybrid event – guests can join in person at the Stonington Free\nLibrary (20 High St\, Stonington\, CT 06378). Presentation begins promptly at 5 p.m. Space is limited;\nguests attending in-person are asked to wear a mask. The presentation will also be live-streamed on the\nStonington Historical Society’s Facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/stoningtonhistoricalsociety)
