It was November 1789, and George Washington was returning to New York at the end of his post-inaugural visit to New England as the country’s first president. Join us as we trace President Washington’s route through Natick, Sherborn, and Holliston and learn about where he travelled, what he did, and what buildings and landmarks stand today as silent witnesses to his journey.
Join us on February 13th at 2:00 pm for this virtual presentation. This event is jointly hosted by the Historical Societies of Holliston, Natick, and Sherborn and the Sherborn Library.
This event is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required. Register using the form here.
