COLRAIN — A family collection dating from the pre-Revolutionary period in Franklin County is the subject of the next program of the Colrain Historical Society on Aug. 9, in the McQuade barn at 7 Main Road. The program begins at 7:30 p.m., immediately following the business meeting of the Historical Society at 7.
The Hollister family collection, including artifacts, photos and other memorabilia, all carefully labeled and curated over the decades by family members, is now in the care of Sarah Hollister, who will provide a lively narrative to accompany slides of collection highlights.
The Hollister family lived in Greenfield until Sarah’s father, John, moved his family to Colrain more than 50 years ago, according to society President Belden Merims.
The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call Merims at 624-3453.
