New England's "Lost Towns", and Dorchester's Interim House Needs Help for Repairs

Local history author Renee Mallett joins Nichole to talk about her new book, "Lost Towns of New England". Did you know New England has several towns that were either destroyed or completely abandoned? Renee talks with Nichole about her research, what the process was like to write her book, and a couple of the towns she features in her work. Joyce Linehan's mother, Yvonne, founded the Interim House in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood nearly 50 years ago. It's been a safe haven for men trying to break free of addiction. Now, the beautiful Victorian needs a boost. Joyce explains the fundraiser they're running, and tells Nichole a bit about the history of the home and her family's mission.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
