Join Us for Fun Throughout the Year
IWF Open Houses
Step back in time as you walk through rooms at the Jones Tavern and Faulkner House and view our collection of items spanning centuries.
Both of our historic properties are open to the public on the 4th Sunday of each month - May - October.
Patriot's Day
Patriots' Day sees lots of fun activities and reenactments at both the Jones Tavern and Faulkner Homestead. We start with a recreation of the "Robbins Ride" (continuation of Paul Revere's journey) and have activities through dusk.
View a video from our Patriots Day Spirit 2013.
Open Tap Room
Along with our Annual Meeting in early October we 'open the taps' in commemoration of one of the main activities undertaken by the Jones family. For many years we held our annual fundraiser, the "Open Tap Room" in Jones Tavern. More recently that has expanded to an "Open-Air Tap Room" outdoors at the Faulkner Homestead.
Art Out
Each fall artists around town are invited to create works inspired by the landscape, history, and culture in the area encompassing Iron Work Farm's properties. Submitted artwork is displayed in conjunction with Open Tap Room, and Acton Open Studios
Specials
You never know when Iron Work Farm will have a special event; it could be finding Hidden Treasures, remembrance of the Jones Tavern fire, farrier demonstration, a celebration of our historic loom, or one of our Theme Teas. Keep an eye out for our next 'special.'
Egg Hunt
With spring's arrival Iron Work Farm hosts our annual Egg Hunt. We nestle eggs in and among the paths through the grande allee at Faulkner Homestead. Children and their parents have a great time on the hunt!
