⭐️✨TUESDAY TRIVIA ! ! ! ✨⭐️

Unfortunately, we did not have a winner for last week’s Mayflower Grove trivia. We asked about the 1927 Boston Gear Works summer outing and which events the 500 employees took part in. The ANSWER—E there was not a three legged race held. The employees enjoyed boating, fishing and swimming.

Mayflower Grove trivia will be featured through the end of June as we celebrate the opening month of a once true destination here in Pembroke. We previously asked this question during the trivia night we held last year at Somehere Else Tavern. As many of you know. Somewhere Else Tavern is located very near to the former site of the Mayflower Grove.

❓❓Which Mayflower Grove owner has a Bryantville street named after him❓❓

A. Roger Anttila
B. Merle Benson
C. Bill Farley
D. Cyril Littlefield
E. Martin Whiting

Good luck, Pembroke!!!

We’d like to take a moment to thank the many volunteers that helped ensure that Colonial Days was a success for Pembroke’s 3rd grade students. The memories made for these students are all thanks to you…

Allison Glennon

Activities for the students included candle making and using 19th century tools at the museum, visiting the Adah Hall House and touring the Friends Quaker Meeting House.

Colonial Days are some of our most favorite days of the school year and are a sure sign that school is almost out for summer.

We wish all of our Pembroke students a happy summer ahead.

Yes we are open now. Come see all the Colonial day crafts we have ready down the 3rd day where we feature 2 buses from North Pembroke Elementary. We spoke to head must have been about 80 students to prepare them for the day

Today we saw Hobomock 3rd graders and at our 1706 friends Quaker meeting house we invited them all to bring their parents to our 6pm to 8pm open house at our museum. Come after dinner and we can give the parents an assignment. We have the Quaker meeting notes going back to the late 1600s when they met in Scituate

Hope to we you here. We have so much to show.

⭐️✨TUESDAY TRIVIA ✨⭐️
and
📣📣LAST WEEK’s WINNER!!!

We have a 🏆 WINNER 🏆 for last week’s Mayflower Grove trivia!!!

Paula Copp correctly answered B. $1100 as the 1910 cost for a 6 room cottage on Little Sandy Pond-the pond where Mayflower Grove made magic for 40 years. The buyer was also expected to give a deposit of $400. $1100 then in today’s dollars is about $38,000. Clearly, the prices of houses have inflated a lot more than the average item.

Paula, you can pick up your prize 🏆 at either our OPEN HOUSE tomorrow (Wednesday, June 10th 6-8pm)
or stop by our June 20th HISTOR-flea market on Saturday, June 20.

⭐️Now for this week’s Mayflower Grove trivia. Almost 100 years ago, in the Summer of 1927, the Boston Gear Works held its annual outing for their
500 employees. The day was packed with fun activities. ❓❓Which activity below was not part of the day❓❓

A. Boating 🛶
B. Dancing 💃
C. Fishing 🎣
D. Swimming 🏊‍♀️
E. Three-Legged Race 🦵🦵🦵

🎉Good luck Pembroke!!!
