If you’ve always wanted to know more about the King Hooper Mansion, now is the time to learn. The Marblehead Arts Association will have a talk on Tuesday, September 9th at 7pm in the Hooper Mansion’s third-floor ballroom gallery with historian and author Robert Booth Jr. The talk will be titled “The King and the Commoners: Robert Booth’s Mansion and its Owners Over the Years.” The new information relates to the mansion’s inception and to its early history.

There will be a reception immediately after the talk. Admission is free and with a suggested donation of $5 for members of the MAA and $10 for non-members.

Booth, who was raised in Marblehead and is a current resident, has authored the award-winning book “Death of an Empire: The Rise and Murderous Fall of Salem, America’s Richest City,” and the forthcoming book, “Mad for Glory.”
