Highfield Hall & Gardens Presents Virtual Supper Club with Military Historian |
|
Highfield Hall & Gardens is gearing up for the fourth
installment of its Virtual Supper Club Series which launched in early September. Join Military
Historian and photographer, Kevin Doyle, on Thursday, November 5, 2020, as he dives into
more detail on his most recent book, The First Encounter: In Wake of the Mayflower. This
segment of the series will be held virtually via Zoom starting at 6:00 pm.
The book is a collaborative effort with co-author and acclaimed artist, Karen Rinaldo. The pair
shares stories which commemorate the years from the 1620 “First Encounter” to the division of
Nauset lands. This detailed account offers a “local” viewpoint and describes how the 15 towns of
Cape Cod came to be. Doyle and Rinaldo’s entertaining book provides an easy-to-read history
that “connects the dots” of our American heritage – from 1620 to 2020.
Often inspired and curious about subjects that may be fading from public memory, Doyle is a
retired combat veteran who enjoys reviving and celebrating historic places and events. Rinaldo
is an acclaimed artist, photographer and poet whose work has been featured in textbooks, local
television shows, and New England magazines. She is recognized as a thorough researcher and
historically accurate painter.
-MoreTogether, the co-authors hope that The First Encounter: In the Wake of the Mayflower, will help
day trippers and travelers to focus their thoughts on how to remember some of the first towns
established in the “New World”.

About Highfield Hall & Gardens
The house is a rare surviving example of transitional Stick Style architecture, containing
beautiful gardens located in the heart of Falmouth, Massachusetts. It is a unique combination
of a historic house, expansive gardens and trails, and a vibrant cultural center. Built in 1878 as
the summer home for Boston's Beebe family, the house sits on 5.5 pristine acres surrounded by
nearly 400 acres of conservation land and public walking trails. Highfield Hall & Gardens is
not your typical historic estate. It is an example of a historic building saved by grassroots
community organizing. An effort of tenacity and vision that continues as new research on the
structure and its story of the people who lived here add to the building's significance. It offers
world-class music, international art exhibitions, culinary classes, family programs, and yearround special events. For more information, visit highfieldhallandgardens.org.
