Edward A. Morley of East Lee was a self-proclaimed psychologist, botanist, metallurgist and mystic, but his greatest success was in the field of photography. In 1886, Morley published “Lenox,” a photo album containing 48 plates of Lenox cottages and other landmarks. Ten cottages were owned by women at the time of publication.
In conjunction with Women’s History Month, Local History Librarian Amy Lafave will present The Ladies of Morley’s “Lenox” on Saturday, March 23 at 1:00 p.m. The slide-show presentation will draw from published works on the cottages, newspaper articles, and material from the Lenox Library’s archives.
