For Valentine's Day this year, buy your sweetheart a locally made item that you can pick up right from the porch of the Jackson Homestead today from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Our mulberry candle ($9.95) has historical ties to the candle business at the Jackson Homestead and the mulberry trees once sold by the Kenrick Nursery. Other scented candles are available, too. We’re also selling jars of our Ginger Pear Jam ($11.95) custom made from the varieties of pears that once grew in the orchard at the Durant-Kenrick House and Grounds. Call 617-796-1450 to pay with a credit card and pick up your order. Historic Newton members always receive a 20% discount!
