Following the meeting, at 7:30 p.m. a short “Show and Tell” program will be a narrative drawn from “Our Trip West,” the diary of the Donelson family (of two generations) auto trip west to California, Canada, and back in 1939, written by one of the passengers, Winnifred Lincoln, mother of Ruth Donelson. This seven-week odyssey in a new car holding two men and three women and their luggage during the Depression was “the trip of a lifetime.” The detailed diary tells as much about these five New Englanders as it does about United States at that time. It’s something of a social history.
You can come for part or all of the evening, but we hope you’ll be there for the meeting to find out what’s happening with the Pitt House property, and what to expect this coming summer.
And don’t forget "Colrain On Canvas," the not-to-miss exhibition of 60 paintings of Colrain villages, farms, and landscapes by 40 artists from Colrain, nearby and visitors such as George Gardner Symons--- professionals and talented amateur painters.You’ll find it Saturday and Sunday, April 13 and 14, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Shelburne-Buckland Community Center in Shelburne Falls.
