Anne will speak about her mother Fire Chief Nancy Allen Holst and her contemporary, George E. Matteson in regard to their combined efforts to fight fires in RI. The exhibit is in collaboration with Anne Holst and her team from Clouds Hill Victorian Museum, and the Scituate Preservation Society.

Pictured here are Linda Koirnatz giving her presentation; one of Matteson’s maps of Scituate and a picture of the mapmaker. The center will be selling copies of Matteson’s maps on Friday, too.
