Product Description:
This delightful and nostalgic pictorial history tells the story of Hull, Massachusetts, as it evolved from a quiet, remote seafaring village into a thriving community and resort. Home of world-famous Nantasket Beach, this 7-mile peninsula is rich with a history that includes maritime traditions, technological advances, and celebrated personalities. Through these fascinating images collected by the Committee for the Preservation of Hull’s History, we learn about the unique heritage of this flourishing summer resort town. Visitors view Hull as a wonderful vacation paradise, but it is also a progressive community of firsts. North America’s first lighthouse and the first U.S. electric railroad were both built in Hull. The area is also the site of the famous amusement park, Paragon Park, which was opened in 1905 and was considered comparable to the World’s Fair. Through the 1950s, steamboats, trains, and famous hotels brought millions of visitors to Hull, making it one of the area’s premier tourist destinations. During the later part of the 20th century, Hull has been ardently re-establishing its links to the past while growing and prospering, as more people discover this jewel of the region as a place to visit or reside. In Hull and Nantasket Beach, the authors invite you to join them on an exciting journey through an area rich with historic hotels and beaches, maritime and military history, technological advances, famous visitors, and proud residents.

My husband and I were given this book as a gift, and having grown up in Hull, it was very special. We learned a lot about the town we had known for 20 years; I only wish I knew about it while living there. The photos were wonderful. I am now going to buy this book for my parents, who have sinced moved away from Hull but who I know will enjoy the book immensely.

What a great book, I gave it as a gift to someone who grew up in Hull and they enjoyed the book. The photos brought back great memories reminded them of the history of the area. If you are from the area of Massachusettes that Nantasket Beach is and want to learn the history I would recommend you pick up this book, there is a lot more to the place than the beach!
