SUMMARY:3rd annual Hilltown History Trail Museums & Culture Tour
DESCRIPTION:Drive the entire trail to visit all participating Hilltown History Trail museums in one day! These volunteer-run\, rural museums have very limited open hours throughout the year\, but for one day in August\, six open at the same time for you to visit   for free!\n\n \n\nHit all the museums in 6 hours\, or if whirlwind museum-hopping is not your pace\, pick one or two properties to immerse yourself in. While all docents are volunteers\, they hold secrets to our Hilltown past that will awe and amaze you.   \n\n \n\nBecome intimate with the Wilder family of yore at Buckland's farm museum. See the finished English barn restoration\; Wilder Woods timber was harvested this winter and milled on-site to source the lumber needed for the project. Visit Dr. Samuel Shaw's 19th century home medical office in Plainfield\; his invoices are still on the desk and the medicine chest is full of remedies and prescriptions. Grab a virtual pint at Cummington's Kingman Tavern museum and park your carriage in (or near!) their well-appointed barn. Thumb through Howes Brothers photographs and glass plate negatives to see if your antique New England house or public building is in the collection. In Shelburne (Falls)\, ogle the trunk full of Persian souvenirs local educator Fidelia Fisk brought back from Persia\, where she worked in the mid 1800's.\n\n \n\nParticipating museums include:\n\nAshfield Historical Society Museum\, 457 Main St.\, Ashfield\;\n\nWilder Homestead\, 129 Ashfield Rd.
