Frozen Over: Boston’s Nineteenth Century Ice Age by Andrew Robichaud
The second of the "Climate Change in Boston: An Historical Perspective" 2020 Lowell Lecture Series presented by the Paul Revere House in partnership with Revolutionary Spaces and Boston’s Green Ribbon Commission, Prof. Robichaud's lecture will examine how the Boston area became a key center of ice production and trade in the nineteenth century. As ice became a pervasive commodity, it remade everyday life in important ways. This talk explores those transformations in and around Boston in what was Boston’s economic and cultural “ice age,” and considers its lasting implications.
