About the event
The Fieldston on the Atlantic, later called The Rexicana or simply - The Rex - was a landmark in the quiet coastal village of Fieldston.
In 1925 Mr. Spang came to Marshfield with the idea of opening an entertainment complex. Â His Field of Dreams mantra, "If you build it they will come" paid dividends. Â Because come they did. Â From 1927 until 1941 The Fieldston on the Atlantic welcomed thousands of guests.
This lecture is based on the recollections written by Joanne Henderson Jocelyn, whose 2 brothers, 2 sisters and father all worked at The Fieldston on the Atlantic. Â Winslow House Association board member, Regina Porter will discuss that essay and add memories other people shared about their experiences at this Marshfield landmark. Â
Bring your own stories and memorabilia and we will take a stroll down memory lane.
A special thank you to Marshfield resident, Jack Iam, whose collection of historic postcards and photos will be used in the PowerPoint presentation.
