This year the Amherst History Museum has invited local artists and crafters to sell their creations on the lawn of the museum on four Saturdays during our 2023 season. Join us on Saturday, October 14, for the fourth and final Art on the Lawn event. Artists and crafters will be set up on the lawn of the museum from 11:00am to 3:00pm when the museum is open for visitors. Stop by to visit and chat with the artists. This is our largest art show to date. There will be painters, potters, handmade books and fiber artists. Get an early start on your holiday shopping! Come into the museum to see our newest exhibit, The Magnificent Life & Art of Mabel Loomis Todd, take a tour of the newly reinstalled rooms in the house, peruse books in the reading room, and view our extensive clothing textile collection.
