This program will highlight the 1930 Tercentenary marker for the Faulkner Homestead, one of three cast-iron signs in Acton erected to mark the 300th anniversary of the 1630 establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. An interesting aspect of this sign is its inaccuracy, including the date given for the 1707 Jones-Faulkner House.

Given that the marker is located outdoors, close to the street, in addition to the presentation on May 28 it is available for viewing by the public at any time, and will be a highlight in self-guided tours of the Faulkner property and the area around the intersection of Main and High Streets.

This program is offered by Iron Work Farm as part of the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature, Culture & History, an annual month-long celebration showcasing events and activities hosted by local partners celebrating the unique places, objects, and stories of the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. Hidden Treasures programs are free and open to the public. Click to discover more Hidden Treasures!
