MONTHLY OPEN HOUSE
Date: Sunday June 16, 2013
Time: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Fee: Donations welcome (We are a 501C (3) non-profit.)
Location: Medway Historical Society
223 Main Street, Medway, MA 02053
Appropriately in this 300th year of Medway’s founding, we are celebrating the restoration of a jewel in the collection – a small still-life painting by Anson Daniels, born here in 1813. Painted in 1873, the Still Life with Fruit had suffered considerable paint loss and frame damage due to uneven handling and storage over the years. Conservators at the Worcester Art Museum stabilized the painting, researched and restored colors and replaced losses in the frame. Thanks to the anonymous donor, Daniels’ still life is back front and center brightening up the museum.
The Society has an extensive library for researching local family history and property. Maps, notepapers and books are available for sale, including The New Grant: a History of Medway by Francis Donovan.
A small photo display gave highlights of events sponsored by the Historical Society itself, which was organized in 1902. Maps, notepapers and books will be for sale, including The New Grant: a History of Medway by Francis Donovan. The Underwood manual typewriter used by Mr. Donovan for most of his books is also part of the collection.
Please stop by and view the numerous artifacts or do a little research. With the 300th anniversary coming next year, what a great time to start exploring Medway's history. Bring your family for an inexpensive afternoon of fun and education.
