FUN FREE FRIDAYS!!!
Every Friday this summer starting on June 24 through August 26, there will be 8 specific places to visit- with Free General Admission! These interesting places are located throughout Massachusetts. From the Berkshires to Boston & The Cape (Cape Cod) and from northern MA to the southern border there are cool interesting venues that teach while having FuN!
During the summer months "Learning" does not come to a halt! Take this opportunity with your children & grandchildren to learn another tidbit about Science, History or about an Artist! This program is not limited to a certain age group, either. It's open to everyone. Jim & I enjoy this program! If you have a chance to take a Friday vacation day, look at the list of places to visit & visit with a friend(s).
