This June we won’t be having our regular 3rd Wednesday of the month meeting. Instead, we will be opening our new exhibit: Past Pastimes-How We’ve Entertained Ourselves for the Last 337 Years. This exhibit is supported by the Rochester Cultural Council, a local agency, supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. This exhibit will showcase the toys, games and activities that residents of Rochester have enjoyed through the centuries. Some will be items that are lost in the midst of time while others will show how they’ve adapted and changed over the years.
In addition, on this same weekend, June 22 and 23 from 10-3, we will be holding a Historic Fair with a Colonial Flair. You’ll be able to enjoy watching Colonial living history along with old fashioned games and crafts. There will be music, a treasure hunt, a scavenger hunt and more. The fair is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. There will be lots of activities for children and adults and a bake sale.
July 17 will be music and an ice cream social at 7:00 pm in our cool downstairs. The weekend of August 3 and 4 will be our annual yard sale. Hope to see you at our upcoming events.
