On
a sunny, blue-skied afternoon in early fall, visitors explored
the cultural and natural history of the Neponset River
Watershed on the scenic grounds of the Forbes House Museum in
Milton. They perused the colorful works of professional
artisans and fine artists, as well as the plein air art
of local high school students, accompanied local naturalist
Tom Palmer on a guided nature tour overlooking the Neponset
Estuary, toured the historic rooms of the Forbes House Museum,
participated in canoe rides at Milton Landing on the Estuary,
listened to classic rock performed by the band Murphy's
Kitchen, and looked over the shoulder of a plein air
artist. Children engaged in nature and craft activities,
assisted by volunteers from the Forbes House Museum, the
Neponset River Watershed Association, and local high schools.
Thank
you to everyone for participating in River Art! Please join us
again next year.
