Event Description

Join the Friends of Minute Man for a visit from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Plantmobile at the beautiful Buttrick Gardens! This fun, hands-on program invites children and families to explore the fascinating world of pollinators and the important role they play in our environment. Through interactive activities, children will discover how flowers and pollinators work together, learn about the parts of a flower, and meet some of nature’s hardest-working helpers, including bees, butterflies, and more. Perfect for children in grades K–5 and their families, this engaging program invites young learners to explore the connections between plants, insects, and healthy ecosystems in one of Minute Man National Historical Park’s most beautiful garden settings. This is a free family program, and parents or guardians are asked to stay and participate with their children. Registration is required, and space is limited. Please note that we are unable to accommodate organized groups for this program. To schedule a walk, lecture, or educational program for your group, please contact Kathleen Fahey at director@friendsofminuteman.org. The event will take place rain or shine. Sunscreen is recommended, though we’ll seek out shady spots to explore and learn together. The Buttrick Gardens are adjacent to the North Bridge Visitor Center, which offers accessible parking, restrooms, and a water-bottle-filling station. This event is sponsored by Friends of Minute Man, Minute Man National Historical Park, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and funded through the generous support of the Middlesex Savings Charitable Foundation.

    A Referendum on Independence

    The road to American independence took time to complete, and Massachusetts, despite its reputation as a vanguard state, was not always in the lead. In 1775, even after the battles of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill, most Patriot leaders were still seeking restoration of colonial rights within the British empire. Thomas Paine broke the logjam with the publication of Common Sense early the next year. The instant best-seller argued the case for separation by appealing to economic and political self-interest, emotional resentment of a brutal and oppressive king, and a utopian vision of America as “an asylum for mankind.”

    A Hawthorne Homecoming

    Two white horses pulled the hearse into Concord’s Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, a top-hatted driver at the reins. A band of mourners followed on foot as they made their way toward Authors’ Ridge.Except for the bright sunshine, this scene wouldn’t seem out of place in a story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. But it happened a mere twenty years ago, on June 26, 2006. That was the day Hawthorne and his wife and daughter were reunited after his death separated them 142 years earlier.
