Iron Work Farm open houses at Jones Tavern and the Faulkner Homestead

The Iron Work Farm will hold its last “4th Sunday” open houses of the season at Jones Tavern (128 Main St., 1 to 3 p.m.) and the Jones-Faulkner Homestead (5 High St., 3 to 5 p.m.)

At Jones Tavern, visit the taproom of one of Acton’s most important gathering places during the Revolutionary War. At the 1707 Faulkner Homestead, the oldest house in Acton, meet members of the Nashoba Valley Weavers’ Guild. 

During the afternoon archaeologist Kimberley Connors will lead volunteers in a further examination of the large dirt pile left from the recent Faulkner driveway construction.  To take part in the dig, sign up at https://forms.gle/GvmDAWE9afDvoXD7A, or email Kimberley at dig@archeducation.org. 

And to learn more about South Acton’s past, join Kimberley at 12 p.m. for a tour of “Mill Corner”’s archaeological sites. Registration required for the tour, at https://bit.ly/4bQlOcl.  See www.ironworkfarm.org for more information about all the activities.
