Summer Barn Open House
Saturday, June 21, 2025
1 to 4 pm Join us for a Summer Barn Open House when you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the artifacts in the barn from Historic Northampton’s staff and attend special 30-minute programs (1 pm; 2 pm) about the history and restoration of the barn from lead timber framer Alicia Spence.
A variety of activities for children and families will also be available, including a hands-on program with Chinese silk worms with Faith Deering. An expert on silkworms and many other insects, Faith will answer questions about the role that silkworms, mulberries, and silk played in the history of Northampton and Florence and the curious life cycle of Chinese silk worms.
