NO CURRENT EXHIBITS

Until our renovation of the upstairs storage room is complete, we will not have an exhibit.  Watch for an announcement for the 2008 exhibit and read about our renovation project under "Society News."

RECENT PAST EXHIBITS

Sewing Exhibit: 2006-2007

Old sewing items such as sewing machines, old needlework, old pattern books, needle books, other accouterments, etc. were on exhibit October 2006 – January 2007.

Evolution of Town Government: 2006

While sorting through our collection, we've come across a number of old town documents and have become intrigued that, in many cases, the only changes have been on the format of the documents.  Many of the offices and procedures used in the 1700s continue today.  This exhibit will trace town government from the days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony through the formation and progress of Littleton using town records to document various stages.   This interesting exhibit will be on display through the end of September 2006.

LHS Philatelic Show: 2006

This exhibit was really two in one:  Rotary on Stamps and Holograms.  Society board member, Don Sturtz and Littleton resident, Leonard Andexler, both serious philatelists displayed parts of their respective collections from March 2006 through May 2006.

The History of Fire Fighting: 2005

This was a display of antique fire fighting equipment, put together by James Ray of Littleton. The "History of Fire Firefighting" display was exhibited during the month of November in 2005.

Littleton: Then and Now

This was a physical exhibit during the month of October and is now permanently online. The project and resulting website was designed to be a companion to the Images of America: Littleton book which is available at the LHS. This online compendium was photographed by Andrew Bowers and Andrea Curran, who tracked down the locations of many of the scenes in the photographs in order to re-photograph them. They have risked life and limb standing in the middle of King Street at the Common to catch just the right angle or spent hours comparing the arrangement of stonewalls to determine exactly where a house had once stood. The website was designed and created by Nancy Bowers. Grab a copy of the book, visit this wonderful website, and begin comparing for yourself.
