Metamorphosis: James Kitchen

On the Meekins Lawn

The public is invited to the Meekins Library for the reveal of the base of what will become New England’s tallest recycled sculpture, created by renowned metal sculptor James Kitchen. The sculpture’s foundation is part of a larger 42-foot-tall work honoring regional history, ingenuity, and resilience. 

EXHIBITION: Aprons Tell Family Stories

August & September 2025

Aprons have always been practical. They are also often beautiful. Hand or machine stitched with love and care, reflecting the creativity and sewing, quilting and embroidery talents of their makers. Valued for the stories they tell we have saved them over time.

In our families, great-grandmothers, grandmothers, mothers, aunties, sisters, and even fathers and grandchildren wore aprons. And we all wear favorite aprons today. Come see the display of aprons and complimentary vintage household goods and add your apron story to the guest book. Available for viewing during open hours, August & September 2025.
