View Tabor Academy and Marion as they were in the late 1800s as David Pierce presents “A Visual History of Tabor Academy.”

The presentation takes place on Thursday, July 24 at 7 p.m. in the Marion Music Hall. Pierce, a faculty member at Tabor, will share a series of photographs representing Tabor’s earliest days.  The Academy’s story begins with its founding by Elizabeth Taber in 1876, in its original location at the corner of Main and Spring Streets.  The tale then continues with the steps taken by Headmaster Lillard in the early 1900s to move Tabor to the sea, a change that made it unique among New England schools.

A question and answer period will follow the presentation, which is free and open to the public, with no registration required. Parking is available across from the Music Hall at Island Wharf Park. For more information, call 508-748-1116.
