Join Andrew Middleton of The Map Center in Pawtucket, RI for The Map Center Presents: How Maps Lie. Taking place on Friday, October 10 at 2PM at the Newton Free Library (330 Homer Street), this talk is a fun and informative exploration of how maps tell all sorts of stories. Learn how historical and contemporary maps are designed to convey information, and how they have been designed to present particular narratives. Andrew will also tell the story of how he became the owner of the oldest map store in New England.
The Map Center is the oldest map store on the East Coast and one of the very few owned by an actual cartographer. Andrew Middleton is a geographic information systems specialist, consultant, and published cartographer who has been steering the 72-year-old Pawtucket staple back into the limelight with beautiful maps from around the world that challenge us to see the places we love in new ways.
