New Member Meeting
The Tewksbury Historical Society is sponsoring two historical events open to the public. On Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 1:00pm the Society will have its annual New Members Meeting. The meeting will be held at the Tewksbury Library. Kim Zunino will talk about The Great Cartridge Company Explosion of 1903 as our keynote speaker. This explosion was in a part of Tewksbury that in 1906 would become a part of Lowell. It brought people from near and far to view the devastation from the blast that broke windows miles away and changed the lives of people and the landscape for years afterwards. As is the tradition, several other people will add stories to the event. A video featuring Louise Hunt will be shown. Louise did this video a number of years ago with other members of Lowell's Historical Society on the Great Flood of 1934. The event is free and open to the public and will feature free refreshments or an opportunity to shop at the Society Store. We hope people interested in Tewksbury history will join. Membership entitles anyone interested a newsletter four times a year and discounts to certain events that has an admission charge. This meeting is free and open to any resident. People living outside of Tewksbury are invited to join the Society. Many members of our Society live outside of Tewksbury.
Stone Walls
A second spring event is collaboration with the Tewksbury Library. A talk by Kevin Gardner on “Stone Walls” will be presented on Tuesday, April 2, 2013, starting at 7:30pm in the Tewksbury Library. Mr. Gardner will discuss stonewall, a fixture in all New England towns. All you amateur stone masons bring your questions about stone walls and you will start to appreciate this art that dates back to Colonial Tewksbury.
