Following the devastating eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Tambora, 1816 came to be known as “the year without a summer.” Join Mount Washington Observatory’s Will Broussard to explore the many natural and cultural impacts this event had on the world, including right here in New Hampshire.

7 to 8 p.m. at the Hancock Town Library. For more information, please contact Susie Spikol at (603) 525-3394 or by email. Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education and the Hancock Town Library.
