Tantalizing Talks, Tea and Toddies – Kevin O’Hara

The Berkshire County Historical Society  welcomes you to a special series of fund-raising readings featuring four authors with strong ties to the Berkshires. The readings take place in Herman Melville’s historic study where he wrote Moby-Dick inspired by his view of Mount Greylock. Following the readings, guests can interact with the authors while enjoying tea, hot toddies and a selection of sweets. In-person seating for this cozy afternoon is limited; all proceeds benefit BCHS restoration, education, and preservation programs. 

December 14 – Kevin O’Hara, a retired R.N. following a 30-year career at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is also the proud recipient of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Award. In addition, Kevin is a longtime contributing columnist for The Berkshire Eagle, and was Writer-in-Residence at Herman Melville’s farmhouse, Arrowhead, in 2020. His books include A Lucky Irish Lad, The Last of the Donkey Pilgrims, The Ins and Outs of a Locked Ward, and A Christmas Journey.

Tickets are $75 and can be purchased by using the BOOK NOW button.  Tickets for a virtual, on-line presentation of the readings are also available for $35.
