 Great Horned Owl                                              And, For Bird-Watchers 
We recently had a visit from our good friend, Bob Lawson, (author of "Birding by Ear" the campanion tapes to the Peterson Field Guide to Birds) who arrived with an immature Great Horned Owl, that he had rescued by the roadside.   Keep a watch on our website, we are soon putting together a special page for birding in the greater-Concord River valley, including the annual hawk migration count on near-by Mount Wauchessetts. Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is just a crow's mile away from our front door. Bring your binoculars and we will have the map.
Ellie Thompson design Ellie Thompson Jewelry Show a  Success
Chicago designer and gemologist, Ellie Thompson, unveiled her new collection at the Hawthorne Inn on November 6 and 7.  This comes just weeks after the Field Museum opened a permanent exhibit,  and published a book "Gems and Gemstones",  that include several pieces of Ellie's commissioned for display. We look forward to again hosting her trunk show the first weekend in May 2010.  It is not too late to have a signature piece, or your own custom design, delivered for the holidays.
Your Innkeeper, Marilyn, is Ellie's representative and can arrange preferred scheduling and pricing. Preview the Collections.
         Thank you for your interest in the Hawthorne Inn and our historic 17th century village.
