It’s Day 2 of the Big Fall Clean-up at the Royall House & Slave Quarters! Volunteers are invited gather from 10 a.m. to noon to help get the grounds ready for winter. Jobs include raking, bagging and spreading leaves on flower beds, and picking up black walnuts. Organizers also plan to clean out the utility shed on the grounds, in hopes that a new one will be built this winter by students at the Medford Vocational-Technical High School.

Please bring rakes, gloves, and any other garden tools that you think will be helpful. Bags and barrels will be provied. Bring along a mask as well, although since volunteers will be outside they most likely won’t be needed unless social distancing is difficult.
