Peabody Historical Society to present musical walk Sept. 24 years ago
Peabody Historical Society is presenting a musical walk around Peabody at 5 p.m. Sept. 24.
Sound of Music II brings many of the same sounds to the downtown area that people enjoyed last fall. The time is one-half hour earlier to allow for more daylight for musicians and tour travelers.
The tour starts at the basement of Carnegie Library where tickets may be purchased and guides will lead groups of 10 to 15 people.
Opera of yesteryear will be performed by Peabody's Stephanie Ax. Classical music was available to early-day citizens of Peabody by paying $1 for a series of performances at Peabody Library.
Another type of classical music will be performed on stage at the site of Peabody's old opera house. Susan Mayo and Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Cranston will remind the public how once music rang out on Main Street.
Other performers will be highlighted next week.
Soup and pie will be for sale at Morgan House before, during, and after the tours.
