Meet at Herman Melville’s historic home Arrowhead on Saturday, November 16 for a unique experience to record your own stories! In celebration of the centennial of the publication of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, the Berkshire County Historical Society (BCHS) will collect stories of grandparents and grandchildren.
Billy Budd was discovered and published by Herman Melville’s granddaughter, Eleanor, who shared a special relationship with her grandfather. BCHS will record special stories of grandparents and grandchildren, told throughout Herman Melville’s home. Together with partners from the Housatonic Heritage Oral History Center at Berkshire Community College and the Berkshire Athenaeum, BCHS will create a story scavenger hunt for children and their families, which will include tasty treats and art projects. All participants will receive a copy of their recorded stories.
