Friends of Minute Man National Park

Last Sunday, The Friends of Minute Man made their debut appearance in the 2010 Sundays in the Park series and we met lots of interesting people! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our location near the Hartwell Tavern parking area, and particularly to Franny Sacco and Gary Baker for helping setup our Friends tents.

This was our Favorite Faces & Places display that we encouraged Friends members and visitors to add their names too. As the weeks continue, we’ll replace their names with the photographs that were taken at the park. You can see that North Bridge and Hartwell Tavern were two of the hot spots mentioned last week!

We were able to meet first time visitors, longtime Friends’ members, and even make some new friends.  Friends’ Member Paul O’Shaughnessy is pictured at left with friends, Adam and Steve.

Today, Sunday, June 6th, the Friends will be back in the Park from 2-4 near the Minute Man Visitor Center, 250 North Great Road in Lincoln, Ma. We’ll continue to capture your favorite places in the park and add more photos to our favorite faces!

Want to meet more Friends in the Park? Stop by the Hartwell Tavern this afternoon from 2-4 and get to know the Friends of Minute Man National Park! Add your comments to our Favorite Faces & Places Display and tell us what you love best about Minute Man National Historical Park.

We’ll be in a different location each Sunday afternoon – so watch our blog and website to learn where we’ll be and what special activity we have planned each week.

Interested in helping? Let us know by emailing carrie@friendsofminuteman.org. Come join the fun!

The Friends want to do just that! Come spend an hour or two volunteering with Membership Director Carrie Midura on Sunday afternoons at Minute Man Park. Each week, from 2-4pm, we’ll pick a new location, set up a shaded tent, a table and chairs and chat with fellow members, visitors, enjoy activities and even the occasional picnic! We’ll feature different locations and activities each week, from photography to story-sharing to games and scavenger hunts.

Get to know your fellow members and discover new locations in the park to visit. To sign up as a volunteer for a Sunday afternoon session, please email carrie@friendsofminuteman.org. The Friends will be spending Sundays in the park from late May through September – be sure to check our website or voicemail to find out where we will be each week!
