Things to do This Weekend

Looking for something to do in Massachusetts this weekend? Here are some highlights across the state.

Summer isn’t over yet! Join us for a weekend adventure. 

This weekend marks Elizabeth Freeman Day, a joyful day of reflection, learning, and community honoring the life and legacy of Elizabeth Freeman, whose landmark 1781 case contributed to the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts. Celebrate Elizabeth Freeman Day with a special Storybook Walk featuring the book, “Mumbet’s Declaration of Independence” by Gretchen Woelfle, and enjoy free “Revolutions of the Ashley House” guided tours. 

Speaking of tours – do you want the house tour? Join us at various properties across the state to get a glimpse into historic homes and their storied past. From Long Hill in Beverly, to Naumkeag in Stockbridge, Stevens-Coolidge House and Gardens in North Andover, to The Old Manse in Concord, and of course, Castle Hill on the Crane Estate. Want to check out other tour offerings? Find everything here. 

It’s the perfect weekend to visit deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln. Join us for a guided tour celebrating the work of Boston-based artist Silvia López Chavez, exploring her vibrant new outdoor commission, Chromatic Portals, alongside her immersive indoor mural, Touching the Portal. Enjoy the sounds of Midtown Horns as part of the deCordova Performance Series or make your own music by creating your own windchime. And of course, it’s always a good day for A Walk in the Park.
