Historic Boxford Events
Winterfest
The Document Center will be holding an open house during West Boxford’s annual Winterfest celebration. This year we will be featuring a display of interesting and unique antique holiday cards from our collection (all holidays - not just Christmas!). All of our cards were collected by past Boxford residents, and include those made by hand and also photo cards.
The Grand Illumination
Step into a winter wonderland and celebrate a beloved Boxford tradition. Our journey begins with heartwarming carols at the Congregational rectory, winding down Elm Street amidst the glow of lighted homes.
The evening’s highlight? The dazzling “Grand Illumination” of the Holyoke-French house!
Conclude this enchanting evening with us, savoring hot drinks and delightful refreshments inside the historic house. Don’t miss this blend of history, tradition, and holiday cheer!
Join us in making this season truly memorable.
