About the event

Birth of a Community: A lively multimedia account of East Groton’s shifting identity
Groton’s lakes region, a 204-acre area comprised of Lost Lake and Knop’s Pond, has long been an overlooked, under-studied part of town. Yet, it is one of the most scenic, geologically fascinating, and at one time, demographically diverse areas of Groton. In their presentation, “Birth of a Community,” two residents whose families first bought summer cottages there in the 1920s, Bob Collins and Alex Woodle, will offer an in-depth look into the last 300 years of the region’s history. A story characterized by the landscape’s shifting identity—from Colonial-era pastureland to iron-ore producing meadows, to a summer waterfront refuge turned, decades later, into the sought-after, year-round lakes community it is today.

The public is cordially invited free of charge to “Birth of a Community,” a multimedia presentation and discussion on Saturday, September 13, from 2 to 4, in room 108 at the Prescott Community Center. Come to learn, enjoy, and ask questions. Take away a deeper appreciation for East Groton’s unique character, historical vicissitudes, and enduring charm.
