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.

Sunday, August 2, 2026 > IMPORTANT PROGRAM UPDATE.
We just received notice from Dennis Picard, our presenter for today's program about the Hessians here at the time of the Revolutionary War.
He has a family emergency which will keep him from coming to Monson today. He offers his regrets and hopes we may reschedule him at a later date.

We wish Dennis and his family the very best while they deal with this emergency; our thoughts and prayers are with them.

The Keep museum will be open today from 1:30 - 3:30 for visiting, exploring the grounds and we'll have refreshments for those who pay us a visit.
