On Tuesday, March 18th at 7:30 PM the Historical Society is pleased to welcome back Denis Semprebon, Holliston resident and owner of Beacon Hill Restorations.  Denis will present a talk: Restoring Architectural Carvings and Mouldings: Milton Academy and the Mayflower Society House based on his restoration work on the carved friezes at Milton Academy and the ongoing work at the Mayflower Society House in Plymouth.  Denis said they have been working there for over two years now, with plans to continue well into 2025. They recently restored two stunning entrances with beautifully carved pediments.  Join us for what is sure to be another interesting presentation!  The talk will be held in the house at the Holliston Historical Society, 547 Washington St.  It is free and open to all!

In cooperation with the Friends of the Holliston Public Library, the Historical Society is pleased to co-present Sheryl Faye as Eleanor Roosevelt, the longest-serving First Lady of the United States.  The performance is entitled Eleanor Roosevelt – The First Lady of The World and it is a one-woman, multi-media, fully immersive production!  The show will be at the Holliston Library on Monday, March 24th at 6:30 PM.  This program will be free, but please visit the Library website (hollistonlibrary.org) to register in advance.  You can read more about the actor and her performances at sherylfaye.com.

Holliston and Baseball?  Joanne Hulbert, our town’s historian, will answer that question on Thursday, April 3 at 7:30 PM.  Joanne will explain the meaning of Fast Day and how baseball history changed Holliston- and Massachusetts - AND all of America! Come and celebrate spring with us - and learn a thing or two, perhaps more about Mr. Flagg’s prodigious mustache and his connection to baseball in Holliston.   This program will be held in the Asa Whiting House at 547 Washington St.  Also coming up is the Train Show on April 26th.

The Holliston Historical Society is a non-profit group whose mission is to preserve Holliston’s history and share it with our community.  Programs are open to the public and are generally followed by a social hour and refreshments.  We hope you will see something of interest and join us!
