Love is in the air this weekend at The Trustees! Join us for a sweet weekend. 

It’s Valentine’s Day! Across our properties, celebrate everything and everyone that you love. On Friday, celebrate Galentine’s Day with the Blackstone Valley Quartet at deCordova Sculpture Park in Lincoln as they play some of your favorite songs from Bridgerton. On V-Day, make a coastal valentine with CraneExplorers at the Crane Estate in Ipswich, or head to The FARM Institute on Martha’s Vineyard to try your hand at chocolate-making. On Sunday, grab your friends and head to Weir River Farm in Hingham for a Galentine’s hike and sip. 

It’s a weekend full of all of the best sweets – why shouldn’t that include maple syrup? Join us at Appleton Farms to enjoy the best of this time of year. At our Adult Maple Stroll, visit the historic maple stand and sugar shack at Appleton Farms and learn all about maple sugaring, its history at the farm and in New England, and how you can try your hand at it at home! Have kids in tow? At Children’s Maple in the Barnyard, for ages 3-11 and families, focus on the magic of maple from start to finish. We will discover this tradition by observing trees, tasting sap, learning the tools involved, and finally, tasting the sweet product. 

If you’re looking to hit the trails this weekend, consider heading to Hingham for a Walking Tour of World’s End, or a Beginner Birding Walk at Whitney and Thayer Woods at Weir River Farm.
