If you are looking for something to do this holiday weekend, consider heading over to the Old Manse in Concord.  It will be open from 11am-6pm through the weekend.

Our own Maynard Historical Society Board member Diann Strausberg will be there performing on Saturday: hear about revolutionary Concord through the life stories of two real women who lived at the Old Manse on the day of the Concord Fight, April 19, 1775.  Two historians recreate Phebe Emerson Ripley (Diann Strausberg) and Ruth Hunt (Camille Arbogast), the minister’s wife and a neighbor’s daughter who joined the household under an indenture agreement.

This unique historical intepretation will be only on Saturday (Oct 10th) at 12:15, 2:15 and 4:15 PM

Tickets for the performances are $10 and space is limited.  Reservations suggested: 978-369-3909
