Tulip Fest
Last weekend I noticed Nichole Schrafft had the Tulip Festival Open House at The Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover as one of her suggestions for a weekend activity. Tulips are my favorites and I was intrigued so off I went. It’s a small property with an historic house and gardens. Several families were in attendance enjoying the nice morning. I will say it was more “Open House” than “Tulip Festival”.
The historic house was quite interesting and the gardens were lovely and well kept.
BUT it was no tulip fest in comparison to our own boulevard in all its glory. Make sure you go down, wander among the beds and bask in the brief beauty of our tulips! Thanks again Generous Gardeners! Now here’s a tulip fest:

About this Event
The Spring Lecture Series presents “Leading Ladies: Defining the Discussion of Maritime Science and History”. This series will tell stories of exploration, science, research, historical preservation, adventure and the working waterfront from the perspective of the women who engage and lead in these issues every day.
Over the past two and a half years, the collections team at the MIT Museum has been working to digitally capture the entirety of the Haffenreffer-Herreshoff collection. The Haffenreffer-Herreshoff holdings consist of some 17,000 artifacts from the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, formerly of Bristol, RI. These original plans, drawings, notebooks and correspondence date from the 1870s through the 1940s and represent the full breadth of HMCo.’s output during its years of operation.
