"The Castle: Stories of Portsmouth Naval Prison"
presented by Neil Novello
— at Kittery Lions Club, 117 State Road

=== Repeat event! ===

This was so popular in June that we are doing it again in July! History rocks!

The old Prison at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard holds a special fascination for many people. From guards to inmates, civilian or servicemen, they all have a story to tell about this institution.

Neil Novello collected many stories about what happened at "The Castle" and he has produced a video anthology about the history of the Portsmouth Naval Prison. For this presentation, he will show historical photos and video clips from three periods in the prison's history: World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War. Although the Naval Prison closed in 1974, the building still stands today, overlooking the Piscataqua River in Kittery, Maine.

Mr. Novello is an award-winning lecturer and local filmmaker. For more about his work, see www.novellospeaks.com.
