Former Rep. Josh Cutler: Under the Golden Dome

Join us on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 from noon to 1 p.m. as we welcome former Rep. Josh Cutler to talk about his new book: Under the Golden Dome: Historic Talks & Tales from the Massachusetts State House: Vol.1.

About the book: The Massachusetts State House takes center stage in Under the Golden Dome. Author Josh Cutler recounts significant moments in the Commonwealth’s history all taking place atop Beacon Hill. The book includes stories of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his address to the Legislature, the infamous theft of the Sacred Cod, and the visit of Amelia Earhart to the State House. The book is full of great photos from an Abraham Lincoln impersonator on the front steps in 1928 to Governor Hurley smiling and waving goodbye at the Bulfinch Front at the end of his term in 1939. Fans of Massachusetts political history will love Under the Golden Dome!
