This local library contains an impressive plaster model of the Palazzo Ducale in Venice. The model was built in the early 20th century by a local artist and school teacher, Miss Henrietta Macy, who had moved to Venice, but never forgot her students back in Boston. Figurines of 16th-century Venetians show off the fashions of the era.
