We're excited to be part of the Bigfoot Experience Searchin’ America Tour ‘24! Join Mike Familant, full-time producer and lead investigator of the show In the Shadow of Big Red Eye!
Mike has spent over 13 years researching and tracking down the truth behind North America’s most iconic cryptid, Bigfoot. He has captured some impressive evidence along the way, from the Florida Swamps to the North Country of Maine, and everywhere in between. Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Grassman, Skunk Ape, or Big Red Eye—whatever name you choose to call this large, bipedal hominid, Mike has probably tried to find it.
He will exhibit some extraordinary evidence backed by facts which he and his team have collected throughout this journey, along with some of the unfortunate experiences that come along with Bigfooting.

Summer Archival Exhibit |

Find This Display on the Library's Lower Level
| You may know Flora Townsend Little as the Bridgewater Public Library benefactor, but this lifelong Bridgewater resident was also an avid traveler. She and her husband, Walter, encountered people, places, and historic events on their many trips around the world.
In this archival exhibit, global treasures are on display: Mexican textiles, Chinese ivory figurines, wooden sculptures from Bali, and a Tibetan amulet box are just a few of the items that Flora and Walter Little collected on their travels. In addition to their mementos, visitors can also see recently-digitized films that Ms. Little took during their travels.
While touring the exhibit, ask yourself: Why is travel so popular, both then and now? Why do we dream of foreign lands? What do we hope to find there? And why is it such a relief to come home?
Around the World by Sea and Land will be on view in the library exhibit space until mid-August. |
