The Glessners of Chicago and The Rocks
Join Bill Tyre, Executive Director and Curator of Glessner House in Chicago, as he shares one of the numerous talks he has developed on the Glessner family. This presentation will explore the lives of John and Frances Glessner, with a focus on their two homes. It will also look at the life of their son George, who served several terms in the New Hampshire state legislature, and their daughter, Frances Glessner Lee, the mother of forensic science, who created her famous Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death at The Rocks in the 1940s and 1950s.
