Great Barrington Historians Annual Picnic

- June 27, 2008

GREAT BARRINGTON – The Capt. Truman Wheeler House will be the site of the annual Great Barrington Historical Society (GBHS) picnic on Wednesday, July 16. The public is invited to join the event featuring speaker on agriculture, Dan Tawczynski of Taft Farms, plus view the society’s pre-Revolutionary War era home and barns.

Starting at 6:30 p.m., picnickers will convene, rain or shine, at the historic house located approximately a quarter mile south of Big Y shipping center on Route 7 South. Parking is on the lawn. Participants are asked to bring their own meal and beverage of choice, plus a chair or lawn blanket.

GBHS board members will be on hand to answer questions, hand out back issues of journal-newsletters describing the group’s interests. The Wheeler House is soon to be a local history museum/education center and GBHS headquarters.
