American Town is an illustrated depiction of life in rural Ipswich, Massachusetts from the 1600s to today. Beautifully illustrated by the artist and author with photos and original art, the book takes the reader from its Native American origin, through war times and the booming industrial age.
In 2005 EBSCO Publishing commissioned artist Alan Pearsall to paint a 2,700-square-foot mural on one of the old mill buildings occupied by the company in Ipswich. The mural is the centerpiece of the town’s Riverwalk.
Performances 7:00 PM, Wednesday, July 24- outdoors at the Ipswich Riverwalk and Wednesday, July 31 - indoors at the Dolan Performing Arts Center at Ipswich High School. The program includes a variety of music based on literary themes. Admission is free.
