Hello, In a small, free newspaper we get in our mailboxes, there is a note that there is a "Battle Road Heroes" event going on in the National Historical Park this coming Saturday - Oct. 10. ".. a dramatic program .. at the Hartwell Tavern Historical area in 'Minute Man National Historical Park. Walk down a candle-lit path to the past. Listen to the personal stories of residents who lived along the Battle Road on April 19, 1775 ...." For more information, visit www.nps.gov/mimaor And, I visited the web site for the Stoneham Historical Society this week and saw that they are having an "open house" at their Museum on Sunday, Oct. 25. http://www.geocities.com/stonehamhistoricalsociety/index.html Are there other events going on this month - which involve Historical Societies or Genealogy Groups? And, many public libraries are now offering events which involve history. I just checked the site for this genealogy-group and see they are having a speaker talking about DNA on Oct. 17. http://www.esog.org/ ALSO, in "The Lowell Sun" this week, there have been 2 articles which might be of interest to researchers. One is about the "Hildreth Cemetery" in Lowell. http://www.lowellsun.com/ci_13487943?IADID=Search-www.lowellsun.com-www.lowellsun.com# One was about the historic "Garrison House" in Chelmsford. I think there was a 3rd article this week, but I don't have time to look for it - right at this moment. www.lowellsun.com Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. Don't forget about the "foliage" and "apple orchards" and "hayrides" and "Jack-o-Lantern displays" -- going on this weekend !
