PM, the Grafton History in Bloom Gala Preview

will take place with wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres at the Grafton Historical

Society Museum, 1 Grafton Common, Grafton, MA

of the Grafton Garden Club and the Grafton Historical Society will design
floral arrangements to interpret selected historic artifacts provided by the
Grafton Historical Society from the Grafton Historical Society Museum which

houses an extensive permanent collection representing all aspects of Grafton’s

rich history from the Colonial era forward. 
Museum items that will be interpreted through floral arrangement include
Mrs. Warren’s wedding dress, antique baby carriage, Mrs. Goddard’s china,
Peppermint Patty’s dress, antique board game, lacy graduation dress, and even a
vintage Maytag Motor!  You need to see it
to believe how the talented participants are going to create floral designs
that interpret the chosen historical artifacts. 
Stroll through the museum and admire its expanded collection of
fascinating Grafton memorabilia while enjoying the floral arrangements.  Enjoy a fine selection of wines generously
provided by Bruce Chalupka of Grafton Liquors, Inc., and snack on hors
d’oeuvres provided by Stop and Shop.
