It is here for the 3rd year, that wonderful art show from our talented high schoolers, fo-cusing on the historical aspects of the area. Art teacher, Jade Sisti, presents these artists each spring and we marvel at what they see in the landscape. Each year brings another fresh look. Come and see for yourself!
Mother’s Day is a wonderful family day at Hunt’s with flowers for moms and seedlings / seed packets for your own gardens. The Community Garden will be open for viewing - come see how the new hoop houses at work. As always, our docents are ready to answer questions and our “Roots” researchers love a challenge.

And if, because of the Bridge closing, you didn’t make it to Weaver on Dec. 11 for “Love at the Indoor Court,” we offer an Open House AND a rematch. Come help us thank owner Tom Brun for his excellent work keeping the country’s oldest continuously in-play single tennis court up and running. Did you know this court was built by a woman in 1914?
( See Nov/Dec 2023 Gazette at www.ephist.org  for more information about this woman.)
