Marion Natural History Museum506 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum had a great time learning how to identify some of our rare turtles and what to do if we find one. We found out which is our smelliest turtle and which can close up into a "box" so tight you can't even slip a piece of paper between its shell. The students had a chance to get up close with a diamondback terrapin, an Eastern box turtle, and an enormous Plymouth red-bellied cooter. Many thanks to Brian Bastarach of Bristol County Agricultural High School’s Natural Resources Dep

Caller Jim Schell of Lakeville had veteran square dancers and novices alike promenading, allemanding, bowing to their partners and do-si-doing with ease. (Photo by Robert Chiarito).
