Ongoing, Daily. Enjoy a story, fresh air, and exercise! Join us on the grounds of the center for a FREE series of self-guided StoryWalks® featuring children’s picture books. Follow the path to book pages posted along the route. Wonderful stories await! November 12 through January 4 Thanks to the Animals, by Allen Sockabasin. For young readers ages 6-8 and anyone grateful for wildlife and storytelling. The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Story Walk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson. This StoryWalk® is provided by Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation Interpretive Services.    

Young students from Kindergarten to High School submit artwork for a statewide art contest. In the process, they gain awareness of the importance of preserving wetland habitats and the delights of wildlife. Come see the top Massachusetts youth entries for the 2021 Junior Duck Stamp competition!

See the 2021 Junior Duck Stamp exhibit and then enjoy scavenger hunts, quizzes, and crafts in the Great Hall at a self-guided investigation station all about ducks. A variety of activities for different ages will be available. Grab an activity to go or practice social distancing at one of the craft tables.

Postponed. Check back in March or April when Musica Franklin presents a community concert, including guest artists.
