Woods Hole is known for its charming waterfront and the internationally famous Oceanographic Institute. However, the rich history of this seaside village goes back much further. Author Elizabeth Sheehy chronicles the history of the town through the lives of Walter Nickerson and Helena Nugent, an unlikely pair from different worlds, who built a house in this unique community more than a hundred years ago. At a transformative time in our nation's history, family members spread out across New England, looking for opportunity, but Woods Hole always drew them back.
