The Concord Museum in Concord MA offers a free summer evening event which includes a visit to the Concord Museum, and a film “Exploring Concord”. It promises a visit back in time. This is one of my favourite small museums.

24th Annual Garden Tour to benefit the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons
Visit Seven Gardens on June 19th in a self-guided tour located in Springs and Amagansett in the Hamptons, NY. I wish I could go. Visiting other people’s gardens is one of my favourite things because there is so much I need to learn about gardening and especially garden design.

I’d love to hear about upcoming events covering the week of June 20th to June 26th in your area for my next event blog post. Just leave me a comment or send me an email through my website Norbridge Antiques .
So many fun things to do in the beautiful North east....too bad I'm in Texas!! It's fun to see what's going on elsewhere and to see what can grow when it isn't 100 degrees everyday!! I wanted to thank you for following DivineDistractions. I love my blogging buddies, and I look forward to getting to know your through twitter and your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sally. I publish events on most Saturdays now. I'm more connected with the east but would love to hear about any events of note in Texas. I've heard that it is a beautiful state.
