UPCOMING EVENTS

LECTURES

Our lectures explore a variety of topics and a variety of formats. Some of our lectures are traditional lecture format, while others involve a bit of hands on learning (e.g., honey tasting).  We are eager to hear ideas you might have for lectures that would be a good fit with the Mather Homestead.  Email us!
