Join us on Saturday, August 31 from 10 am-5 pm at the celebration of “Anna’s 1769 Spinning Tableau,” where 45 Lexington (Massachusetts) ladies with their spinning wheels created a public protest against unjust taxation just steps from the town’s Commons.

Offerings will include demonstrations of 18th century crafts, a spin-in, a knit-in, talks and tours. 

Vendors (10 am-2 pm) include Bosworth Spindles, Subito Farm Designs, and Toil and Trouble Yarns.
