This event is Free, but reservations are requested.
Making a scarecrow is a fun way to dress up the garden and it may even scare off those pesky crows. You provide the old clothes; we’ll provide the hay and string. Suggestions include a big shirt, a jacket or vest, trousers or a skirt, boots, a pillowcase for the head, a hat or baseball cap and gloves.
There’ll be music, popcorn, and, of course, apple cider to sustain you through the creative process. 1:00-3:00, free, but reservations requested (978) 369-9763.
While here, don’t miss the special exhibition which has entranced visitors of all ages all summer. Take a pinch of mud season and a sprinkle of April showers, add a handful of autumnal tints and mix in an icy blast of winter, then cook it all over the high heat of summer. That’s just a taste of what you’ll find in Seasonings.
Explore some of the nostalgic events, traditions, and rituals associated with each season in American culture through artifacts from the Museum’s rich and varied collection. Fall, winter, spring, and summer are explored through artifacts that bring to mind a seasonal sense of time and place: back-to-school and fall produce at local farm stands; keeping warm and snow sports; spring cleaning and turning over the garden; and summer breezes and patriotic celebrations. Sunday, September 14 is the last day to enjoy this exhibition; Free with Museum admission.
With one of the oldest collections of Americana in the country, the Concord Museum in historic Concord, Massachusetts is renowned for its national treasures: the lantern that hung in the church steeple on the night of Revere’s famous ride; the largest collection of Henry Thoreau’s possessions anywhere, including the desk where he penned Walden and “Civil Disobedience;” Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Study, an important gathering place for the greatest American writers of his day; and outstanding furniture, clocks, silver, and ceramics.
