David Pierce, vice president of the Sippican Historical Society, will present a lecture on the history of the Sippican Hotel and Casino on Thursday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. at the  Music Hall.

The hotel stood in the heart of Marion Village during its Golden Age. It had 200 rooms and families from all over, but especially Boston and New York, would spend entire summers there.

Pierce will discuss postcards and photographs from the historical society’s archives and from curator Pete Smith’s book, “A Picture Postcard History of Marion, Massachusetts.”

The lecture is free and open to the public.
