Tuttles, Jones & Wetherbee - A Family Dynasty

Presented on Oct. 2, 2022

On Sunday, Oct. 2, Bill Klauer presented via Zoom the story behind South Acton's Exchange Hall.  The program chronicled the development of a small general store in a remote village and followed its transformation into a many-faceted operation with a four story-department store and other associated buildings and businesses.  The management, connected by business and multiple family ties, had the goal of providing the nineteenth century customer with the ultimate shopping experience.

Thanks for joining us!

We were glad that despite the heat, a good number of visitors came to the reopening of the our museum and archives on Sunday, July 24.   We were also able to welcome visitors during the Kelley's Corner Block Party on Sept. 10.

Featured was a new exhibit "Wish You Were Here," with a focus on Acton as a vacation and sightseeing destination.  The exhibit draws from our extensive postcard collection and also  displays items from the Lake Nagog Inn and businesses that catered to tourist traffic.
