Street Smarts: Good Luck Farm & The Land Before Shoppers’ World
2:00pm to 3:30pm *** It may be hard to imagine Shoppers’ World territory as farmland and nurseries, but that’s exactly what was there before the first mall east of the Rockies came to town. Join Charlie Holt, a current Framingham resident with a connection to the area that dates to 1840, as he takes us back to a time when this bustling area of Speen Street and Route 30 had a more agricultural and horticultural flavor. Guests are also encouraged to share stories of how the explosive growth of the 1950s affected their families. *** $5/person. *** Refreshments served. *** Village Hall, 2 Oak Street, Framingham Centre (Village Hall is located at the south end of the Centre Common)
