Iron Work Farm Open House: "Good Night and Sleep Tight"
2025-05-25 10:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Jones Tavern, 128 Main St, Acton, MA, 01720, United States
In a combined event at two of Acton’s historic properties, Jones Tavern and the Jones-Faulkner Homestead, the Iron Work Farm will hold their first “4th Sunday” open houses of the season (1-3 p.m. at the Tavern and 3-5 p.m. at the homestead) and a special two-part program, “Good Night and Sleep Tight,” the second in our multi-part, hands-on series on colonial life geared to children and families.
“Good Night and Sleep Tight” starts at 10 a.m. at the Tavern with bed-making and a traditional colonial breakfast. At 1 p.m. we will join Col. Francis Faulkner’s wife, Rebecca, in the newly restored bed chamber at the Faulkner House, where, as part of the Freedom’s Way “Hidden Treasures” program, she will show off the travel desk the Colonel used on the road with the Massachusetts troops in the Revolutionary War. Members of the Nashoba Valley Weavers Guild will also be on hand. The year-long colonial life series is supported in part by a grant from the Acton-Boxborough Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass. Cultural Council, a state agency.
