I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather to start your weeks! October always seems to be a busy time & there are never enough weekends to pack in all the leaf peeping, apple picking, pumpkin carving, costume wearing, haunted happenings,
and cider drinking that we’d like to enjoy. But, you don’t have to go far to find many of these things; your favorite neighborhood house museum has you covered! If you would like to register or if you have any questions, feel free to email me or call the office.
