SUMMARY:Why Was a Child's Shoe Hidden in the Wall of a House for 300 Years?
DESCRIPTION:Join Duncan Brown\, Curator for the Boxborough Historical Society\, as he explains the story of why a child’s shoe was hidden in the wall of a Boxborough house for 300 years and the journey the shoe took to come home to the Boxborough Museum. \nThe house\, owned by James and Hannah Whitcomb\, was built in 1721 in a portion of Harvard later incorporated into Boxborough in 1783.

Concealed shoes have a long history throughout Europe and in early New England homes and a single child’s shoe was commonly used. \nThe presentation will take place in the Morse Hilberg Room of the Boxborough Town Hall at 29 Middle Road starting at 1:00 pm. Admission is free and all are welcome to attend. \nPARKING & ACCESS: Parking is available around Town Hall or at UCC Congregational Church directly across the street.
