Join author and historian Elena Palladino for a discussion of her first book, “Lost Towns of the Swift River Valley: Drowned by the Quabbin.” In April 1938, Swift River Valley residents held a farewell ball to mark the demise of the quintessential New England town of Enfield and its three smaller neighbors, Greenwich, Dana, and Prescott. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts was sacrificing these towns to build the Quabbin, a massive reservoir of drinking water for residents of Boston. Elena recounts the story of these communities as seen through the eyes of those who lived there until the end.
