SUMMARY:West Acton Historic Homes Tour
DESCRIPTION:Step inside historic homes and see and learn about many more as we tour West Acton! Once known simply as the “west part of town\,” in 1845 the railroad arrived in this section of Acton\, transforming the sleepy hamlet into a vibrant village of new commerce and homes. Today\, it retains much of its 19th-century charm\, including charming storefronts\, workers’ cottages\, and storybook Victorians. \nJoin us for this unique experience to see historic homes\, inside and out\, and immerse yourself in culture and history. Offered one time only! Space is limited. \nThis is a guided walking “happy hour” tour\, no libations but a lot of fun packed into an hour! (Please note\, this is an approximate time\, the tour may be slightly longer\, but Happy Hour and 15 Minutes doesn’t have the same ring…)

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Pine Hawk Discovery

He will describe that process of discovery\, its significance\, and how the project activated an increased interest in historical preservation\, such as the Trail Through Time in North Acton. Doug also created an award-winning exhibit about Pine Hawk\, which can be seen today on the ground floor of the Acton Memorial Library. This program is presented with support from Acton Memorial Library and Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. \nThis event is free and does not require registration.
