News and Updates
Check out
the Bolton Common for our regular "Bolton History Snippets" column. We are having great fun unearthing
interesting tidbits of Bolton history.
Computer and software purchases now allow us to continue to catalog
our collections and enter genealogical information at Sawyer House. We are making headway in our research on Bolton's
early families and anticipate being able to inter-connect them using genealogical software.
We offer several items
for purchase. Not only maps and postcards dated 18th-20th Centuries but we have Esther Whitcomb's book
"About Bolton" for $37.00. Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing any of these items.
Meet Felicity Frog - For our younger audience
Hi, I’m Felicity Frog. I’m
one of hundreds of frogs that were given to my favorite human, Mrs. Florence Sawyer. A smart lady who recognized Froggy Wisdom,
she was known to tell people to “Hop to it,” when a job needed doing. So lots of people gave her frogs as gifts.
That’s how I came to live at Sawyer House.
I really love history
and children, just like Mrs. Sawyer. I like to show off some of my favorite things in the displays at Sawyer House. I hop
around the exhibits and leave a note (Felicity’s Footnotes) by things I think are really special. Look for the sign
of my footprint and check out the Footnote (always on green paper, of course).
