“ARTISTRY in IRON”
Presented by David Erickson
Mr. Erickson’s shop, in the old Depot building on Taylor St., is where he salvages stoves and parts to repair and sell beautifully refurbished antique stoves. David will tell us about the beginnings of his business and his search for old kitchen and heating stoves. From these pieces, he recreates authentic stoves, thus preserving important utilitarian history and rebuilding them in a way to make them useful in today’s homes. His artistry is evident in the care he takes in reconstructing these old stoves, disassembling the pieces, sandblasting them, fabricating missing components and putting the back together.
See his exhibit at the Houghton Memorial Building- open every Wednesday 1-4pm

Is the Baker-Sargent house on Robinson Road the oldest house in Littleton? An attic beam carved “Built in 1673 by SP” would seem to indicate this, but the truth is far more surprising. Learn who SP actually was, and whose hand carved this inscription in 1673, and for whom!
Friday’s Finds is a new addition to our website, highlighting recent discoveries around Littleton’s history.
