WE NEED YOU FOR THIRD GRADE HISTORY WEEK!!!

 Actually we need contributions of the following for this late Spring program, now in its 29th year,  involving the approximately 300 third graders of the Danvers School system:

-- rotary dial telephone

-- 45 record player

-- baseball bat

-- Hockey stick

-- football

-- Sesame Street puppets

-- Star War toys

The Society has most of these (of course, not the Sesame Street puppets nor the Star War toys) in its collections, but, since they are in the collections they can't be used hands on by the third grader. 

The third graders really get a kick out of handling what are now relics of the past!

If you have any of these and wish to donate them, please call (978-777-1666) or email the office (dhs@danvershistory.org).

We hope you will be able to see the students' exhibit at Tapley Hall on June 25, 4-6 PM.

It's been a long winter....

and the office has been busy catching up after the hugely successful December Designers Holiday Show House that refreshed the Endicott Mansion's stunning and elegant beauty. 

During one of the post Show House committee meetings I took this picture from the Mansion's porch of the Great Lawn, the Gazebo and the Arboretum thinking how fleeting the beauty of winter is.... except, winter hasn't been fleeting!

Now that we have caught up from the Show House, it's time to catch up on the blog and what's new at the Society.
