Weekend Fun: Tour a Historic Mansion, Yoga, Give Blood & More
|
Gore PlaceTour the historic mansion at Gore Place on Friday and Saturday.
This is a weekend for learning more history of our town. At Gore Place, which is partly in Waltham, partly in Watertown, you can tour the historic home of Christopher and Rebecca Gore. He served as an ambassador, governor of Massachusetts, and US Senator in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. If you prefer to be outside on a summer’s day, tour the trees on the Gore Estate or tour Mount Auburn Cemetery. Feeling crafty? Check out the creative patching workshop at the library. There’s an intensive yoga workshop at Artemis Yoga for four days of going deep into your practice. And though some people may not think of giving blood as fun exactly, the blood drive at Hibernian Hall is important for the well being of all of us. Let’s pitch in to keep us all having fun.
