On May 15 at 7:00 pm at the Museum, 355 County Rd., we will be honoring the Woodchoppers, a musical group that formed in the 1950’s and performed for the next 45 yrs. The original members were Arthur Lionberger, Olive Winslow Cal Daggett and Jeanette Pajunen. They played at many Grange and Brotherhood events and were always willing to entertain at area nursing homes and impromptu venues. This will be an evening of songs and stories and a look at one of the ways people were entertained in the past which ties into our upcoming exhibit: Past Pastimes- how we have entertained ourselves for the last 337 years.
The Tribute band will be made up of some of the children of the original members.
As always, refreshments and conversation will follow. We hope to see you there.
We’re calling all kids to circle June 22 and 23, to come to the Fair at The Rochester Historical Museum. You’ll have a chance to play colonial games, march like a Revolutionary soldier, tie knots like a privateer, search for treasure and much more. Look forward for more info soon.
