A winter-like chill has settled this week in Massachusetts. Whether you enjoy the cold or like to keep cozy, there’s an activity for you this weekend with The Trustees! 

Calling all families (especially with younger kiddos)! Celebrate fall with a fun, hands-on baking class featuring Pumpkin Spice Doughnut Muffins and Pumpkin Hand Pies during Kiddos in the Kitchen: Positively Pumpkin at Powisset Farm in Dover. At Weir River Farm in Hingham, visit the Open Barnyard, or take advantage of Sensory-Friendly Open Barnyard hours. If you’re looking to get your hands dirty, join the Family Farm Chores. 

In the mood to get outside? Head to Notchview in Windsor! Volunteers from the Arunah Hill Natural Science Center will join visitors for an unforgettable night under the stars with some of the best stargazing conditions in the region (fingers crossed!). Or, celebrate the start of ski season at Notchview Nordic Ski Center with a community kickoff event! Let’s welcome winter together with an afternoon of fresh air, local food, and live music. Other outdoor activities include walks at the Crane Estatein the dunes and at sunset. 

Hoping to stay cozy? Take a tour indoors! From stately homes to colonial farms, coastal estates, and working mansions, each site invites you to walk in the footsteps of those who shaped our past and reflect on the history and culture that still shape our future.
