Fall Fair

Back after 14 years!
Join the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace for the return of our end-of-season Fall Fair, October 19, 2024 from 1-4 pm. The historic Hammond Grist Mill will be running, grinding corn as it has done since 1757. Take one last peek around Gilbert Stuart’s birthplace before we close for winter; you can even have a chat with the man himself, as David Ely reprises his performance as Gilbert Stuart.
Enjoy apple cider and donuts, live music, crafts and games, and a fifty-fifty raffle. Immerse yourself in autumn with a walk through the woods on our nature trails. You can even follow in Washington’s footsteps and have your portrait done (in a much quicker session) by caricature artist Dave MacDonald from Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
