Artsfest is BACK and what a year to celebrate!
October 17th @ Paine Cottage has a day filled with events for all ages

The popular Makers Market returns to the grounds of the Paine Cottage.

The grounds in front of the Paine Cottage will be hopping with the return of the Youth Makers Market, the Builder's Workshop, a Patriots Spy Hunt, music of Shake, Rattle and Roll and the addition of the fabulous music of the Songcatcher's.
Our Cottage will also be opened this year for free self guided tours.
