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.

We'd like to give a huge "Thank You!!" to four volunteers who came to the museum yesterday (Tuesday) and worked hard to help us maintain and improve several areas of the Keep.

Rachel, Nicole, Amanda and Pete (from Liberty Mutual's community volunteer program) were just wonderful. They swept, dug, raked, stomped on knot-weed and installed some decorative stones. They also had lunch with several of our volunteers and were fun to chat with.

Pete, Amanda, Nicole and Rachel: You have our sincere thanks and admiration for jumping in to make the communities your company serves better places.
