Help us celebrate Warner's 250th Anniversary. The museum will be free of charge on June 13th. Welcome

Here's another chance to celebrate Warner's 250th birthday! The dedication of a donated Serviceberry Tree at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum will take place this Saturday, June 13th at 10AM. Did you know that Serviceberry or Shadbush (genus Amelanchier) got its common name because it is one of the earliest shrubs or trees to bloom? Native people used parts of the serviceberry plants for food, medicine, and tools. They also knew that the blooms often coincided with the annual running of shad. American colonial tradition also held that the blooms signified that the ground had thawed and funeral services and burials could occur. Come celebrate the natural and social history of Warner!

Learning happens everywhere at MKIM.
