The Iron Work Farm continues its “4^th Sunday” open houses at Jones Tavern (1 to 3 p.m.) and the Faulkner Homestead (3 to 5 p.m.), as well as the latest living history family program, “Crown Resistance and other Matters of State.”

At 1:00 at Jones Tavern, former Acton Minuteman Captain Steve Crosby will read the declaration of the town’s resistance to the restrictions imposed by the British government in 1774.

At the Faulkner House, the home of one of the authors of the declaration, in connection with one act of local “crown resistance,” members of the Nashoba Valley Weavers Guild will demonstrate the surge in “home-spun” textiles that took place during that time.
