The Southborough Historical Society is using a “Classical Christmas Concert to raise funds for the History and Arts Center they are seeking to open in Fayville Village Hall.
A bonus for those who are interested in historic preservation, the event will be held in the Deerfoot Mansion estate (formerly known as the Burnett/Garfield house).
The event is limited to 45 people. SHS President Michael Weishan informed me that as of last night there were still a few seats left. So act quickly if you’re interested.
SHS promotes:
The Southborough Historical Society is pleased to invite you to an hour-long program of classical and popular holiday music provided by an ensemble of strings and clarinet from the Clafin Hill Symphony Orchestra. The concert begins at 4:30 in the historic Deerfoot Chapel, 84 Main Street, followed by a reception of warming beverages and delicious nibbles in the restored carriage house. Tickets are $75 ($65 for members) and limited to 45 persons, so act quickly as they will sell out. All proceeds to benefit the new History and Arts Center at Fayville Village Hall.

You can read more about the Fayville Hall project in my update this summer here. For a reminder of the overall vision once the center opens, you can view SHS’ dedicated website page here.
Updated (11/22/24 4:45 pm): According to the registration page, the event has successfully sold out.
