Events & Exhibits
Our construction is almost done!
The campus at 300 Main Street, home of our Hosmer House Museum and associated buildings, has been undergoing a renovation of its landscape. Though Jenks Library remained open, parking on the property has been limited. Events and exhibits on site have been delayed until work is done.
We look forward to sharing with you our newly opened-up landscape, much more representative of the time when the home was the site of a working farm. Stay tuned. |

Hosmer House Museum May Open House
Our first house tours of the year were on May 5. Visitors were able to see featured items about the Revolutionary War in the historic Hosmer house that was standing on April 19, 1775 and housed participants in Revolutionary War activities. Young visitors participated in a play to bring Revolutionary era history to life.
Stay tuned for our next open hours. |

Goats at the Hosmer House
As preparation for the larger project of improving the landscaping around the Hosmer House, the Acton Historical Society was visited last fall by a crew of four goats. Their "goatscaping" work was the subject of a recent video produced by Acton TV featuring AHS co-president Bill Klauer.
