WEEKEND FUN: Art, Music, Dancing, Writing & Tour the 2 Oldest Homes in Town

By |

I suggest you start off the weekend on Friday afternoon at the Armenian Museum of America to see their current exhibit of art by Varujan Boghosian. What an interesting mix of media he uses, including painting and collage! A Saturday morning trip to the Revival Café will not only include the requisite espresso or tea drinks, but also some music played by Jamie Kallestad, a local folk musician. If you’re feeling more contemplative than social Saturday morning, try out the Morning Writes workshop at Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Saturday night, head to Conley’s Pub & Grill for a dance night with a live DJ. We don’t have a lot of  dancing spots in town, so be sure to take advantage of this night at Conley’s. On Sunday, take your tired danced-out legs to free tours of two old Watertown homes where you can learn about how people lived in town in the 17th and 18th centuries. I wonder if they had dancing spots in town back then.
