Little Compton’s John Simmons as Researched by Piper Hawes

Presented by Marjory O’Toole, LCHS Executive Director

Long one of Little Compton’s favorite sons, John Simmons led a remarkable life, from his local farm-boy roots to his business success in Boston, to his founding and funding of Simmons College.  Piper Hawes, a long-time LCHS Board Member and Simmons College graduate, who sadly passed away last fall, thoroughly researched John Simmons and his Little Compton connections for the Historical Society.  The talk is given in her memory using her original research.
