The most unique button collection in New England!

When Myra Keep Lovell Moulton died in 1988, the last of a long line of Keeps in Monson, she willed her property, its contents and an endowment fund to the town with two stipulations:

It must be opened to the public on one day during the first year after acceptance of the property.

It must be named the Keep Homestead Museum.

Re: The Open House last Sunday (April 12) "Indian Baskets of the Northeastern Woodlands"

Comments here are from Vicky Prior, one of our volunteers. Thanks, Vicky.

Lorraine German's talk "Indian Baskets of the Northeastern Woodlands" was very informative. Drawing on her extensive research, experience as an antique dealer, and as a collector, Lorraine presented a wonderful program. We learned not only about basket-making materials, dyes, and techniques of the different tribes, but also how the tribes moved from place to place. Her talk was interspersed with personal stories about the extensive collection of baskets she brought to share with the audience, which was also a lot of fun.
