𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗙𝘂𝗻! Kindergarteners at the Rollins School in Lawerence learned about six key professions 1700s colonial society when Museum Educator, David Blauvelt, visited in early June.

They experienced fun versions of blacksmithing with toy hammers on hardened clay; farming and dairying by making butter and grinding corn; pottery and ceramics; candle making; wool-work and fabric making; and barter and trade. It was a day filled with a lot of smiles! Thank you to the Rollins School for allowing us to visit!

This photograph of the 1936 flood in North Andover is especially interesting because the exact date and location was recorded on the back. This was a flood that no one who lived through it ever forgot. Do you remember your parents or grandparents telling you stories about it?
