As the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims approaches, we are proud to host history teacher and lecturer, Christopher Daley as he examines the trials and tribulations of the Pilgrims who landed on our shores in 1620. Mr. Daley will discuss the voyagers' decision to land on Cape Cod; the beginnings of Plymouth Colony; and the early encounters with the Wampanoag people.
 
Mr. Daley has been lecturing all over New England for over 25 years on historical topics of interest. He holds a B.A. and an M.A. from Bridgewater State University in Political Science and History. He is currently a history teacher in Kingston, Massachusetts. 
The Thankful Project
 
This year has been challenging in every aspect of our daily lives. As 2020 comes to a close, we would like to acknowledge the positive and record the things that our community is thankful for. Leave us your note of gratitude in person, by phone or social media and we will be sure add your sentiment on our community pumpkin. Our goal is to fill a pumpkin with the big and little things that we are all thankful this season of gratitude.
