WHAT‘S IN A NAME? Explore Eastham’s landmarks – origins, meanings and changes in their names over time
Presented by Marca Daley, curator and archivist, Eastham Historical Society
Where were the Half Way Ponds of Eastham, and why were they so named? What do Depot Road and Railroad Avenue have in common? Who was Jeremiah, and why was his gutter important? And what’s so ‘Great’ about ‘Enoch’ and ‘Doane’? In this illustrated talk, Marca explores Eastham’s physical landmarks, explaining the origins, meanings, and changes in their names over time.
