Thoreau Comes to Tewksbury Historical Society Event
The Tewksbury Patch reminds us that the Tewksbury Historical Society’s annual fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday May 19, 2012 at the Tewksbury Senior Center. The historical theatrical presentation will focus on author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, surveyor, historian and leading transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. While Walden may be his most famous book, it was his work A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers written in 1849 that brought him near-by the Town of Tewksbury.

Lowell Cemetery tours this week
The spring tours of historic Lowell Cemetery begin this week on Friday, May 4 at 1 pm and Saturday, May 5 at 10 am.
We have completely revised the tours this year. These May tours will all begin at the Lawrence Street entrance and will cover that half of the cemetery. The tours in the fall will begin at the Knapp Avenue entrance and will cover that part of the cemetery. There will be some overlap (everyone will see the Ayer Lion) but most of the tours this year will be brand new, so even if you’ve participated in one of the tours during the past few years, you will see and hear new things this year.
The tours take 90 minutes of walking over uneven ground and are conducted rain or shine. Parking is available along the avenues of the cemetery within the back gate.
Here are the dates for all upcoming tours:
Friday – May 4 – 1 pm
Saturday – May 5 – 10 am
Friday – May 18 – 1 pm
Saturday – May 19 – 10 am

Obama @ White House Correspondents’ Dinner
Yes, you’ve probably seen the highlights of President Obama’s speech at this year’s Correspondents’ Dinner, but, the president gave the audience many more laughs than the one minute version shown on TV.
