Barbara L. Benson Barrington Historical Lecture Series
Late 19th century Barrington comes alive through a series of 700 letters written from the Octagon House by Emaline Hawley Brown to her daughter Laura Nightingale in Fairmont, Minnesota. Historian Barbara Benson shares their stories—for an intimate view of Barrington and the love between mother and her “dear little girl beyond the Mississippi.” General Admission $20 (Includes Tea, Coffee and Desserts.)
