The dates for the survey will be Saturday, June 14, Tuesday, July 15, and Tuesday, July 22. In addition, and Invasive Species Work Day will be held on Monday, September 22. Each session will last from 10:00am to 3:00pm. You can come for one day, or all four. Did you know that there are more endangered plants than animals in Massachusetts?

http://www.keephomesteadmuseum.org
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. She was an avid collector and her button collection is considered one of the largest in the US. She mastered many forms of needlework and many of her works are on isplay, as are examples of her work in oil, water color and ceramics. History was also important to Myra and the museum contains many examples of this interest: history of her family, her town, her church, rocks and minerals of the area -- to name only a few.
Open House: 1st Sunday of each month 1:00-3:00pm from early April to December. Nature tours frequently available with former National Park Service naturalist
Special request tours are available by calling or e-mailing.
