The Bostonian Society's Lowell Lecture Series:The Cocoanut Grove Fire April 6, 2005

The Cocoanut Grove Fire
One of the most devastating fires in American History, the 1942 disaster at the Cocoanut Grove resulted in hundreds of deaths and had an enormous impact on building regulations and medical treatments. Herald reporter Stephanie Schorow looks back at this event, and the questions that still linger sixty years later.

Unless otherwise noted, all Lowell Lectures are held at the Old State House. Take the Orange/Blue Line to State Street (below the Old State House) or the Green Line to Government Center(one block away).
