Opening of The Land Tells Our Stories  

Sunday, June 7, 2026
11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Castle Hill at the Crane Estate
Ipswich, MA

**Event is Sold Out**
To mark the opening of Art & The Landscape: The Land Tells Our Stories, we’re hosting a celebratory brunch with artists Ella Mahoney, May Babcock, and Posey Moulton, alongside curator Tess Lukey.

The Land Tells Our Stories brings together three New England artists—May Babcock, Ella Mahoney, and Posey Moulton—whose site-responsive artworks installed at three Trustees properties explore belonging, environmental change, cultural storytelling, and the ways landscapes carry generational memory.

The Seasonal Gallery at Fruitlands Museum is included as part of The Land Tells Our Stories as a way to bring these artists’ ideas and processes into conversation with one another and to deepen their exploration of place, history, and storytelling. We invite you into this gallery and then to visit the other special places—Moose Hill Farm (May Babcock), Rock House Reservation (Ella Mahoney), and Castle Hill on the Crane Estate (Posey Moulton)—where their outdoor installations are on view.

The Land Tells Our Stories is commissioned by Art & The Landscape, an initiative of The Trustees. Now in its tenth year, Art & The Landscape commissions are site-specific, designed to help tell the story of treasured places of the Trustees and tie together threads of art, nature, community, and history.
