Reading Frederick Douglass Together
Come and hear a public reading of the famous Frederick Douglass address, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" The museum will be open special hours that day from noon to 5 p.m. with free admission. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the back lawn of the Homestead. If it rains, the reading will be held under tents behind the old Aquinas School on Walnut Park in Newton Corner (around the corner from the Jackson Homestead). Please join us there for the reading and then plan to walk to Jackson Homestead for museum tours. Presented with Newton Cultural Development and funded by a grant from Mass Humanities.
