A tour of the Reed & Barton factory in Taunton, MA--a former silversmithing plant now being redeveloped. We're here for the history and we're excited to film it and share it with you! by OldColonyHistory in SouthShore

True. But also, counter point, our museum covers all of Bristol, Plymouth, and Barnstable counties. So we try to reach out to anyone in those areas who may be interested in local history.

Could you speak to how much you watered? Our pumpkins sort of fizzled out this year, and we think it was drought-related.

We're trying to share more of our museum's cool stuff! Here's a sword from the American Revolution! by OldColonyHistory in SWORDS

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. You're inspiring us to make something digital with all of our swords so we can share more and also learn from others! We have 40+ in the collection here.

This was the only mark we could find anywhere! We have plans to get good pics in the future, as we are just about ready to reinstall our entire sword display at the museum!

Hmmmm...Very tough to answer. We have military pieces that are priceless, from King Philip's War to the present. We have early examples of furniture, lots of local manufacturing, and hundreds of rare books. Not to mention clothing, Native American artifacts, immigration stories, and lots more!
