Supported by a grant from The White Fund of Lawrence, Massachusetts to the Friends of the Lawrence Heritage State Park and offered through the Greater Lawrence Community Boating Program, Lawrence Heritage State Park and the Massachusetts Dept. of Conservation & Recreation.

Visitor Services Supervisor Becca Morris has released the June calendar, which features many fun activities for next month.

First, welcome back Rich Padova for his 22nd year as LHSP's summer park interpreter. In addition to offering walking tours on the Great Stone Dam, the Campagnone Common's diverse monuments and memorials, and poet Robert Frost, visitors can drop by on Sunday and join the fiber arts circle to learn how textiles are made. Rich's weekly popular lunch talk series begins on June 10th. And don't forget to check out the calendar's SPECIAL EVENTS section for more offerings .

Lawrence Heritage State Park is a valuable resource that is free for everyone. But it needs your support. With the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) experiencing some of its biggest budget cuts in years, it's important that we continue to involve ourselves in the park as much as possible. You can help simply by visiting, participating in events, and spreading the word. We want this special place to remain well into the future.
