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.

Yesterday the weather was perfect, the ice cream yummy, the music homey and the gathering mellow.
A light, refreshing breeze persisted most of the afternoon.

We'd like to thank everyone who came for a visit and to enjoy the experience, maybe winding down from more hectic and demanding gatherings earlier in the weekend.

We'd also like to thank Frozen Red for the comfortable mood they set with their pleasant, sometimes nostalgic music. I felt like I was sitting on Grandpa's front porch and the neighbors had come for a visit and some tunes.
And, thanks to Westview for donating the delicious ice cream!
And, very importantly, we couldn't have done this without our volunteers; those present and those who could not be there yesterday.
