We are excited to explore the neighborhood around the Rotch-Jones-Duff House with two of Ralph Waldo Emerson's essays that had their origins here. Emerson spent time here and his friend Mary Rotch of Spring Street inspired the essays on Self-Reliance and Greatness. We’ve built a walking tour past his friend's home, the Unitarian Church where he sometimes preached, the Spring Street Meeting House and the gardens at the Rotch-Jones-Duff House.The walk will be a slow ramble, less than 2 miles, around the RJD neighborhood.
The event is free but we ask that people pre-register so that we have a head count for refreshments. Learn more and register at: https://southcoastalmanac.com/walking-book-club/
Many thanks to the New Bedford Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, who have provided funding for this event.
