Join us to learn something new every month! Our Talks will feature presentations by local authors, academics, business owners, and history buffs in our Gallery.

In October OCHM President Dr. William Hanna will present "Camp Myles Standish."
Over the years one of our most popular subjects has been Camp Myles Standish, the World War II U.S. Army staging area for troops departing for the European Theater of War. In this talk, Bill Hanna will discuss the relationship between the camp and the citizens of Taunton. Thousands of high-spirited young men spending their last few days before shipping out for war could--and sometimes did--present unusual challenges for a quiet city of just 43,000 people. How did we manage? Join us on October 20th to find out!

These Talks are all free* and open to the public.

Refreshments will be served at 5:30 p.m. and the presentations will begin at 6 p.m.

*Please note that the November 2022 Talk is not free because it is a special crossover event!
