Curator’s Corner

William G. Thompson House Museum and Gardens

Jan 30, 2008

             The holiday season has come and gone.  I would like to thank the groups that helped to decorate the Thompson Museum grounds by setting up five Christmas trees during the 3rd Annual Outdoor Festival of Trees! 

 

             We will be hosting gardening classes again this spring.  Our first class will be held on April 12, 2008 at 10:00 am here at the Museum.  Pat Rowley, Master Gardener, will be sharing tips and techniques on designing and developing a new garden area.  The class is just $10.00, and you can reserve your space by calling the Museum.

 

             The Museum is busy planning for the summer season.  Our Rummage Sale will be held on August 2, 2008.  The lost arts festival will be on the porch again on that day.  We are anticipating a return of the crafters from last year (sock maker, quilter, basket maker, weaver, spinner, painter, and blacksmith) .  We also have early confirmation from a rug hooker, Ukrainian egg crafter, and a wood turner.    Mark your calendar for August 2, 2008 today!

 

             Lastly, check out the link for the 2nd annual Bean Creek Festival, celebrating the 175th anniversary of the founding of Hudson.  If you are a Federal reenactor, plan on joining us for the 18th Michigan Company A encampment and the Maple Grove Cemetery Tour on the weekend of September 13 and 14, 2008!
