It sure is cold outside, which makes our indoor programs feel extra cozy! Warm up in the kitchen at The FARM Institute on Martha’s Vineyard by joining Teri Culletto of Vineyard Baker and author of Beautiful Bread: Create & Bake Artful Masterpieces for Any Occasion, for a hands-on focaccia class. At Long Hill in Beverly, join Cole Campbell, production horticulturist at Native Plant Trust, for a native seed-sowing workshop. 

This weekend, The Trustees is pleased to partner with the Stockbridge Library for A Day in Revolutionary Stockbridge. Join us at the Mission House, where the scene of a Revolutionary-era tavern comes to life as we help commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 

It’s also the perfect time to visit the Old Manse in Concord. Take one of many tours, from Home to Two Revolutions, to our Family-Friendly tour, or a tour by Candlelight. Choose your own adventure!
