Dear Friends,

Just a reminder that we’ll be hosting a whole series of fun events on Heritage Day Monday, October 14th.

Come hunt down your own private treasure from items donated to the Southborough Historical Society!  We’ve received hundreds of fascinating objects, from lovely lamps to rare kitchen items, Limoge plates, Robert Shaw prints, you name it, and priced to move. In fact, so successful has the process been that the Museum will be open one last time this Sunday, October 6th from 11-2 to accept last minute donations.  Clean out your attic and come on down or we can arrange to come to you!

Plus the museum will be selling rare duplicates from our Deerfoot Farms collections, not to mention we’ll have numerous private vendors on hand selling their own vintage and antique items!
