DERBY - Authors J. Huguenin and M. Earl Smith will speak about their book, Mystic, about the Connecticut community on the banks of the Mystic River, at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 16 at Derby Public Library.
The village has a maritime history that stretches back beyond the founding of the nation.
As the nation grew, so did Mystic, with the village using its unique location to serve both the fishing industry and the U.S. Navy.
Today, Mystic serves as both a cradle to some of Connecticut’s oldest families and a tourist attraction for those wanting to sample vintage New England life.
The authors tell Mystic’s fascinating history through historic postcards.
Registration is requested. Call 203-736-1482.
The Library is at 313 Elizabeth St.
