Community Calendar

Community Conversations is an opportunity to join local experts and community members virtually. This program series addresses important issues, from affordable farmland to building a community forest, and explores how they connect to conservation. One-hour Zoom sessions will include brief presentations, time for questions and answers, and the opportunity to connect with others.

This month, we will explore how, with some creative thinking, affordable farmland and conservation efforts can go hand-in-hand.

Finegan Ferreboeuf and Jason Gold, the Farmers of Steelbow Farm in Ancram, will be joined by Terence Duvall, Director of Land Protection & Stewardship at CLC, to discuss affordable farmland access and Steelbow Farm’s transition to Ancram. Duvall will provide an overview of affordable farmland models, highlighting CLC’s protection of this farm through a ground lease model and the search for new farmers. Ferreboeuf and Gold will then share their farming history, how they came to this property, and what’s next at Steelbow Farm!

Experience a pivotal moment in Blandford’s history! 250 years ago ON THIS DAY, Blandford townspeople greeted General Henry Knox and his “Noble Train of Artillery” on their historic journey as they pulled the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston.

Let’s do it again and commemorate their legacy.

A FREE EVENT WITH DONUTS, HOT CHOCOLATE & CIDER
• Warm up by a crackling bonfire, grab a seat, donut and hot drink.
• Hear a 30-minute account of Knox’s journey through Blandford told by a colorful cast of characters in their own words, including General Knox, locals, and citizen Solomon Brown who stepped in with his oxen to help and into history.
• We’ll wrap things up with some genuine thunder and smoke – a Revolutionary war guard will fire several cannon rounds!

If you’re wanting more, stop by BHS afterwards to see a slideshow of the 200th anniversary 300-mile reenactment and meet locals who participated. In the event of bad weather, we will cancel (check https://blandfordhistoricalsociety.org the morning of the event) and re-schedule for a later date.
