Spinners from around the region are invited to join us for this traditional end-of-holiday season event. Bring a spindle or wheel, something to share in the silent auction. Snacks to share are also welcome. Doors open at 1 pm.<\/p>\n
Parking at the museum is limited. Please plan to drop your equipment at the door (we\u2019ll have people there to help you unload!) and then park on Lincoln St. or at the Town Hall. Those with limited mobility should contact the Museum ahead of time so we can block off a spot for you.<\/p>\n

\nby Robert Herrick (1591-1674)<\/p>\n
\nYou must on St. Distaffs Day:
\nFrom the plough soon free your team;
\nThen cane home and fother them:
\nIf the maids a-spinning go,
\nBurn the flax and fire the tow.
\nBring in pails of water then,
\nLet the maids bewash the men.
\nGive St. Distaff\u2019 all the right:
\nThen bid Christmas sport good night,
\nAnd next morrow every one
\nTo his own vocation.<\/p>\n
