July 21, 2008: William Rotch Jr: Bibliophile
"The exhibit is titled 'Lighting the Way: the Life and Legacy of William Rotch Jr.' Its display cases feature artifacts belonging to Rotch and his family. Of particular interest is a 16th-century atlas of world cities which suggests that Rotch had an interest in rare books. Also of interest is a map showing where Rotch's grandfather purchased 10 waterfront acres in the community then known as Bedford Village in 1765."
