Through the magic of time travel, the Dorchester Historical Society welcomes Submit Clapp Baker, who lived from 1749 to 1836, and is portrayed by DHS board member Karen McNutt. Middie Baker will share her vivid memories of events, people, and Dorchester life in the second half of the 18th century. Her recollections include the complicated and secretive activities relating to the fortification of Dorchester Heights, which convinced the British to abandon their occupation of Boston, on March 17, 1776, departing without a shot being fired. All ages are welcome to this engaging program, which takes place in the Society’s 1806 William Clapp House in Dorchester..
