GREAT BARRINGTON – The Capt. Truman Wheeler House will be the site of the annual Great Barrington Historical Society (GBHS) picnic on Wednesday, July 16. The public is invited to join the event featuring speaker on agriculture, Dan Tawczynski of Taft Farms, plus view the society’s pre-Revolutionary War era home and barns.
Starting at 6:30 p.m., picnickers will convene, rain or shine, at the historic house located approximately a quarter mile south of Big Y shipping center on Route 7 South. Parking is on the lawn. Participants are asked to bring their own meal and beverage of choice, plus a chair or lawn blanket.
