Step into the vibrant fall landscape of Brewster's Woods Wildlife Sanctuary, where mixed forests, open meadows, and riverside habitat create a haven for migrating birds. Take a leisurely guided walk through the sanctuary to look for woodpeckers and warblers flitting through the trees, raptors soaring in the sky, and ducks gliding over the marsh—the property was originally managed to create habitat for migrating waterfowl. Around every bend, the changing season reveals new sights and sounds as birds pause here on their southbound journey.

Minute Man Arc is hosting its 22nd annual Minute Man March! The one-mile, inclusive walk through Concord Center raises funds and awareness each year for the nonprofit’s life-changing programs supporting over 1,400 adults and children with disabilities in Middlesex County. An outdoor celebration will have food, music, silent auction prizes, and activities for all ages.

Join the Concord Museum an evening with Megan Kate Nelson as she explores the captivating lives of women and men moving through the American West—Indigenous peoples, Black Americans, Mexican Americans, and Canadian and Asian immigrants—in the nineteenth century. Her new book, The Westerners, tracks the attempts of many Americans to remove these individuals from history, through a frontier myth that lionized individualism and conquest and celebrated white settlers traveling west in search of prosperity.

Bring the whole family for a fun, interactive afternoon of discovery.
