Day Trip: Salem Cross Inn & Quabbin Reservoir | Tuesday, 10/24

Join us for a lovely fall day trip to rural Central Massachusetts. The highlight of our day will be a lovely luncheon at the Salem Cross Inn. The Salem Cross Inn is a National Historic Landmark, and is still owned and operated by descendants of Peregrine White, born on the Mayflower. Built in 1705, the structure features extensive antique furnishings. Choose your entrée at registration: Classic Yankee Pot Roast with Pan Gravy or Old Fashioned Chicken Pie. We will have a guided tour of the Quabbin Reservoir, an amazing “accidental wilderness” with an equally amazing history when its creation caused four towns to be “drowned.” The great city of Boston and 45 surrounding towns gets its water supply from the Quabbin. A visit to Breezelands Orchards is also included and a bag of apples given to you!

Registration deadline is Monday, October 16.
