Rochester Historical Society Happenings

The Rochester Historical Society Museum at 355 County Rd., Rochester will be open from 1:00-3:00 pm on Sundays throughout the Fall. Our exhibit of how we entertained ourselves for the last 337 years will be open.

            We will also be selling quart bags of both dried, sweetened and fresh cranberries. It won’t hurt to call either Sue at 508-285-8908 or Connie at 617-750-2818 to make sure someone will be there to greet you. Come see us.

            October 16 at 7:00 pm, our monthly meeting. The program will be Bats in the Belfry and Mack in the Attic. Do come to find out about the denizens and “stuff” in the Church/Museum’s attic. As always, refreshments and conversation will follow.

            October 26 at 11:00 pm, there will be a grave marking ceremony for Thomas Bassett, a Rochester man who participated in the Revolutionary War. The ceremony will be put on by the Sons of the American Revolution whose mission is to make sure that our ancestors who fought for independence are not forgotten. All are invited for a ceremony involving honor salutes, short speeches, and the grave marking.
