Please Come to Town Meeting Tonight!

Ladies and Gentlemen

A quick reminder that we need your support at Town Meeting tonight. There are a number of very important issues on the ballot that affect preservation issues in Southborough (not to mention your pocket book!) among them articles to prevent the BOS from further desecration of the area around the Old Burial Ground; an article to form a PILOT committee, which might help slow the creeping gobble of historic properties by the private schools; and other measures tangential to good preservation policy, like an article that for the first time would allow for the recall of elected officers in Southborough.

Town Meeting is our one chance a year to express our opinions, and considering that our property taxes are about to take a huge hike upward, now is the time to have your voice heard as to how that money is spent.

Remember, the meeting this year is at Algonquin High School in Northborough., 6:30 PM

Join Us on Heritage Day for Four Fun Events!

Dear Friends,

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

Fancy Flea from 9-3 at the Pilgrim Church Hall! 

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!
