Making Hay, Reading and Signing – Local farmer and author John Jeppson will share his book Making Hay. Making Hay combines local history, family memoir and a naturalist’s simple affection for place, Jeppson recalls his family’s efforts to adapt a well-loved property to changing times. “These engaging vignettes take us to the center of a loving family and their rural retreat on the shores of Lake Quaboag in Brookfield, Massachusetts. The Jeppsons’ devotion to their land, the creatures on it, and to each other makes the reader a willing participant in these quiet adventures affectionately narrated by the paterfamilias.” - Marcus McCorison, former Director, American Antiquarian Society. Contact the office to be notified of event time and location.
