On September 18 David Schafer of the Sons of the American Revolution will be speaking about the research they do to find the graves of forgotten Revolutionary War soldiers in order to dedicate the gravesites with a marker. The program will begin at 7:00 and be held at the Rochester Historical Museum at 355 County Rd., Rochester.
Refreshments and conversation will follow.
The Sons of the American Revolution is a national patriotic, historical and educational society whose members are direct descendants of those patriots who fought in the Revolutionary War.
On Saturday, September 28 from 10 to 3 will be our last big fundraiser of the year. The current exhibit, which is supported by the Rochester Cultural Council, a town agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, will be open to the public, and we will have our Annual Cranberry Bake Sale and Raffles, but that’s not all.
This year Cecelia will have jewelry and buttons with ideas to up cycle them to create something new and unique. It might be ornaments to hang on the tree or tie on to presents or wind chimes or new jewelry created from bits and pieces of older items.
We’re also lucky to have two local crafters who work with shells, beads, decoupage and artisan glass and create one-of -a -kind items.
As always, we will have our Rochester T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, maps, books and other items for sale. It is a good time to purchase or order some of the above for Christmas presents. Stay tuned as more may be added to our sales.
This event will be at the Rochester Historical Museum, 355 County Rd., Rochester.
