Special Lexington Historical Society Event

Conservation Fundraiser
Thursday, March 31
6:00pm-8:00pm at Munroe Tavern (1332 Massachusetts Avenue)

This wine and cheese event will offer a look at some special objects with interesting stories in the Society’s collections—many of which are crying out for conservation.  Those interested in contributing to our conservation efforts will have the opportunity to purchase “shares” in different conservation projects and have the satisfaction of preserving these objects for posterity.

There will be a special lecture by Dr. Tricia Wilson Nguyen, owner of Thistle Threads and a prominent needlework expert, who will speak about the reproduction efforts surrounding the 17th century Plimoth Jacket.

Free and open to the public!

Reserve your place by calling 781-862-1703.

AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT OUR SPECIAL MEETING
