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.

I was out this morning to distribute fliers for our upcoming program on Sunday, April 12 from 1:00 - 3:00. The program, "Indian Baskets of the Northeastern Woodlands" will be presented by Lorraine German of Mad River Antiques. It will start at 1:30 and Lorraine will discuss the development of basket making in our region, including stylistic differences.

I'd like to take a moment to thank our friends & neighbors on Main Street who help the museum by posting those fliers. They include Victoria & Company, The Better Bean, Mario's Clock Shop,
the Woodbine, Monson Italian Pizzeria and The Moonlit Forest.
