We have our calendar of events set for 2025. In May, we’ve changed things up a bit and will be having our annual Ice Cream Social with music by Tom and Sheila Perry assisted of course with those in attendance singing along. This will be at the RHS Museum at 355 County Rd. in Rochester at 7:00 pm on May 21.
June will be a program presented by Connor Gaudet, curator of the Mattapoisett Historical Museum. This will be at our museum at 7:00 pm on June 18.
Usually, our meetings are the 3rd Wednesday of the month from April to December and always followed by refreshments and good conversation, but our July meeting will deviate from that as we will be having a Strawberry/Blueberry Bake Sale and as a kick-off for our upcoming exhibit: The Tools and Industries That Made Rochester, we will be at the site of the Church Home on Mattapoisett Rd. More on that later.
In August we will forgo a meeting, as we will be holding our annual yard sale on August 2 and August 3. Once that is done and cleaned up, we will be setting up our new exhibit that will open in the Fall.
September 17 at 7:00 pm, Bruce Bassett will talk about how his search for ancestors and his family tree led him from New Jersey to Rochester and to the Sons of the American Revolution organization.
October 15 at 7:00 pm, Mack Phinney will do a presentation on Cranberry Screenhouses.
November 19 will be the Thankful Supper. This dinner begins at 6:00 pm.
