128 Main Street and 5 High Street, Acton

Iron Work Farm open houses and living history program

The Iron Work Farm continues our series of combined “4th Sunday” events with museum open houses at Jones Tavern (128 Main Street, 1 to 3 p.m.) and at the Faulkner Homestead (5 High Street, 3 to 5 p.m.), as well as the latest program in our year-long living history activities for children and families with “Crown Resistance and other Matters of State.” 

At 1 p.m. at Jones Tavern (a hot-bed of political discussions in the 1770s), in commemoration of what came to be known as Acton’s “Crown Resistance Day,” former Acton Minuteman Captain Steve Crosby will read Acton’s pivotal declaration of the town’s resistance to the severe restrictions imposed on the colonies by the British government. 

That brave action changed local life in a variety of ways, including refusals to buy British goods such as cloth. Members of the Nashoba Valley Weavers Guild will be at the Faulkner House to demonstrate the surge in “home-spun” textiles that took place during that time.

No charge.

Parking on site or nearby.     Check www.ironworkfarm.org for details.

Filming at Jones-Faulkner Homestead

Iron Work Farm recently hosted a film crew from Wide Awake Films on the Jones-Faulkner Homestead property. They are making a film both in the house and outdoors for the National Museum of the US Army in Washington, DC. It was an exciting time with musket firing and other military activities. Video and pictures coming soon!
