This weekend we welcome the last full moon of 2024. As we wrap up this year and look forward to the next, we hope you’ll take a moment to join us at our Trustees’ special places to soak up the magic of the season. Whether you head to a program, out on a walk, or to one of our many stores, we look forward to seeing you this weekend. 

There are only a few weeks left of Winterlights! Head to Stevens Coolidge House and Gardens in North Andover, The Eleanor Cabot Bradley Estate in Canton, and Naumkeag in Stockbridge for a whole host of holiday fun. It’s the perfect family outing for a safe, festive adventure. 

Full moon fun is in store for all this weekend! Take in the full moon at one of our many properties across the state. At Peaked Mountain in Monson, join partners Adventure East for a hike under the stars. The Crane Estate in Ipswich hosts both a CraneOutdoors full moon hike in the dunes, and a family-friendly CraneExplorers version. Head to Hingham for a full moon hike at World’s End, or to Lincoln for one at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. 

Also at deCordova this weekend, enjoy two musical performances. On Friday, Antje Duvekot and Goodnight Moonshine will perform. Saturday, get into the holiday spirit with the Conchords. Enjoy the dynamic six-member a cappella group during an unforgettable evening filled with festive singing, delicious hot chocolate, and creative ornament making 

If you’re still in need of the perfect Christmas card photo, or your kiddo still needs to share their wish with Santa, join us at Long Hill in Beverly for Sensory-Friendly Photos with Santa. The program will have dedicated time slots with a reduced number of guests and a quieter sensory friendly environment. Any family that would benefit from a limited capacity visit is welcome.
