We are looking forward to a beautiful September weekend at The Trustees! Join us across the state for fall fun. 

This weekend marks the autumnal equinox. Watch the last rays of a summer sunset disappear into the night sky as you explore deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln and learn about the season’s celestial bodies with Aldrich Astronomical Society. Or, head to World’s End in Hingham for an Autumn Equinox Sunset Hike. 

It’s the 14th Annual Fruitlands Craft Festival! The grounds will come alive with 58 specially selected New England Artisans. The show’s quality of craft, museum offerings, and stunning views have made the festival a popular September destination. It’s the perfect event for a fall outing to plan your holiday gifts for friends and family. 

Enjoy some whimsy this weekend! Frolic in the Fruitlands Fairy Forest at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, or enjoy the Enchanted Forest at Weir River Farm in Hingham. Stop by the Four Season’s Gallery at Fruitlands during the Craft Festival to create a mosaic from found objects, inspired by our Eye of the Beholder Exhibit. Also at Fruitlands, join Mary Rose O’Connell for an Artist Demonstration at our Wayside Galley in conjunction with her showcase, Seashores and Gardens. Feel free to drop by any time during the demonstration, find inspiration, and enjoy watching an expert at work. 

Celebrate the beauty of autumn with our annual Fall Celebration: Farm Days at Appleton Farms in Ipswich and Hamilton—a seasonal tradition filled with farm fun, crisp air, and colorful countryside views. Spend the day exploring all that fall has to offer on one of the oldest working farms in the country. 

This weekend also marks the re-opening of the Winthrop Community Garden in Boston. Enjoy a live drumming performance, free food, and tastes from the garden harvest. Learn more about The Black Panther Gate, a unique art installation in the garden that honors the legacy of the Black Panther Party in Boston.
