Lou Gallo: Swampscott’s Unofficial Historian

Posted on July 13, 2021 by Janina Majeran

Lou Gallo led the History Buffs every month here at the library. When we were stumped by a local history question, our first thought was of Lou. He wasn’t just a patron, he was our friend. Here we have him on our Librarians by the Sea podcast (that you can also find on Spotify) talking about the Fish House.
