Open house at the Faulkner Homestead and Jones Tavern, Sunday, June 23
The Iron Work Farm continues its series of “4th Sunday” open houses at our two South Acton house museums this Sunday.
Jones Tavern, 128 Main Street, first built in 1732 and opened by Samuel Jones as a tavern in 1750, will be open from 1 to 3:00 p.m. This is also the perfect time of year to experience the “naturally air-conditioned” Broad Alley in the section built ca. 1818 for Samuel’s son and Revolutionary soldier, Aaron Jones.
The 1707 Jones-Faulkner Homestead, 5 High Street, will be open from 3 to 5:00 p.m. Visitors can explore the restored rooms of this 1707 architectural gem, the oldest house in Acton and home of the owners of the longtime fulling and grist mills on Fort Pond Brook. Members of the Nashoba Valley Weavers’ Guild will be on hand to demonstrate weaving, spinning and other textile crafts.
Parking is available on-site or nearby.
