Betsy’s interest and passion for these houses and their histories was evident and quickly spread among the audience. Her use of visual material to illustrate unique details of the architecture kept the audience engaged, and her openness and willingness to answer questions encouraged their curiosity. The lecture went very smoothly and was organized in a manner that made sense for the topic. It was also a great opportunity for those interested in these houses to get a virtual tour without visiting these locations themselves. Betsy’s explanations and walkthroughs of the homes offered something for everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge of architecture or Cape Cod history. We would love to have her back for another talk! Falon Williams, Programming Assistant, Snow Library, Orleans

Our library recently hosted Betsy on Zoom for her talk on the Cape Cod Modern House Trust, and our patrons thoroughly enjoyed her presentation. It was the perfect length, covering only the four homes that the Trust stewards, and included great visuals, photos, floor plans, and personal stories from Betsy's time as a tour guide with the Trust. Perfect for architecture and history buffs but also enjoyable for anyone who loves the Cape. Betsy was friendly, easy to work with, and welcomed questions at the end of her talk. We will be having her back again soon. I highly recommend it!
